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. On today’s market, a new
