David R. Elder letters, October-December 1945

1945-10-10 Arthur Slaton to Dave Elder Page 2

wanted to stay in this part of the country so I took a job on one of the local weekly papers running the machine. After several weeks I left them to find something to get in for myself. So far I have made several trips to different parts of the state trying to locate a good weekly, but so far I haven't seen anything that interests me.
I have a deal lined up with a commercial shop in Huntsville, Ala. that I think will be O.K. The man that owns it bought it the first of Sept. and I think I'm going to by half interest in it. He's got good equipment - two linotypes, two automatic presses, an open jobber, Michle cylinder, power paper cutter and he has a new Kelly C ordered.
I read in the Scuttlebutt that came today that Chas. Morris expects to return in the near future. That's good news and I'm sure glad for him. I know Edith is happy.
