The Courier, despite the tactics of a competitor in beguiling employees from this office, has maintained a force sufficient to carry on in the growing business, and take pleasure in announcing that Messrs. J.L.O. Thompson, an experienced editor and printer who is well known to our people, and Mr. W.P. Benton, an expert Linotype operator, have taken positions with us, thus rounding out a force of competent printers second to none in any city of this size.
Mr. Thompson has just returned from his home town of Pickens, S.C., where he assisted Mr. Gary Hiott, formerly of this city, in getting out a mammoth booster edition of The Pickens Sentinel that is a credit to the profession. He will look more closely after the job printing department of The Courier, and our many customers can depend upon our usual prompt service.
Mr. Benton, formerly with The Charlotte Observer, is not only an expert linotype operator, but a clever young gentleman who will prove a strong asset to The Courier. He has moved his family here, where they will receive a warm welcome from our people.
Another recent addition to The Courier force is young Mr. “Doc” Dedman, an expert press feeder and all-around good boy.
S.P. Brewer and W.G. Julian, former employees of The Courier, but more lately of Rutherfordton, are now working in Charleston and Salisbury, respectively.
