All of us here at the Charlotte News wish you contin ued success and happiness. We are vtery proud to be your neigh bor and friend . . . ." Editorial in the Cleveland Times, Shelby, E. D. Lewis, edi tor: "Congratulations are in order for our sister non-daily newspa per in Kings Mountain. “The Kings Mountain Herald, one of North Carolina's most outstanding, prize-winning week lies, has outgrown its functional “metes and bounds” on Piedmont avenue and has built and occu pied a brand-new plant building a short distance away. “It is reassuring to witness the growth and prosperity of a com munlty publication anywhere, for the road to success for a weekly is by no means broad and smooth. “This is especially true in an area of daily competition. “We congratulate in particular Martin Harmon, the lithe, ener getic publisher of the Herald. “It was Harmon’s boundless energy, his myriad capabilities, his foresight, and perhaps the most important of all -his wil lingness to gamble on the fu ture, that lifted the Herald from position of mediocrity in Kings Mountain and made it the strong i right arm of the community. I “The Herald held open house i Friday night, and the large ! crowd of Kings Mountain people ' —plus a great many from other j areas of the county and surround 1 ing counties—attested to the po pularity of the paper and its publisher. "Harmon's cup surely must have runneth over, for a good following — the support of the people, businessman and sub scriber alike—is the dream of every newspaperman. "Congratulations, Martin!” An editorial in the Shelby Daily Star: “Our congratulations to the Kings Mountain Herald on occu pying a well planned and modern weekly newspaper plant.. “Thtre was an open house Fri day night which we attended a long with hundreds of others. “Cleveland County is amply supplied with communications; three newspapers (one daily, one weekly and one semi-weekly) apd two radio stations. This is a tri bute to the intelligence of our people and their eagerness to keep abreast of local, state and world happenings. “This county is also fortunate in the fact that the newspapers in particular are locally owned and edited. Martin Harmon, after graduating from the University School of Journalism, decided to | locate in his home town in which | he is vitally interested and per | sonally acquainted with the pa per’s patrons. “The field of communications is a highly competitive field throughout the state and nation. Production costs have spiraled upward as in every field of en. deavor, forcing some newspapers and radio stations to consolidate or suspend operations tentirely. “A notable example of this is the suspension last week of the old Boston Post which had pub lished continuously for 125 years. “In every North Carolina city large enough to support mom ing and afternoon daily papers, rising production costs have brought about consolidations. On ly in Charlotte are morning and evening papers separately own ed. “Morning and afternoon papers in Wilmington, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, V^inston-Salem and Asheville are under single owner ships. While each paper in these cities ma.Mtains different mecha nical editorial and business staffs papers are produced in one plant. “Newspaper machinery is cost ly. We know of one North Caro lina newspaper whose printing press alone represents an invest ment of a million and a quartet dollars.
