Journal Notes 100th Anniversary
Special Centennial Issue Marks Milestone; Largest Edition Ever Published

Today’s Centennial edition of The Muscatine Journal – the largest in its 100 years of existence – is a testimonial to the oldest surviving business institution in the city.

For only one other local firm of the present time can lay claim to a continuous record dating back to the pioneer days of 1840. Many others have been started, continued in business over a varying span of years, and then fell by the wayside before the relentless march of progress and the rigors of commercial life… leaving The Journal to carry out the continuity of the city’s business history.

But there are other present-day firms in Muscatine with histories, which although they do not go back over 100 years still cover a lengthy lifetime, as the business directory carried in the Centennial edition shows. The record lists: One in 1849; two each in 1854 and 1855; one each in the years 1856, 1857 and 1858; eight in the period from 1860 to 1870; 13 from 1870 to 1880; 20 from 1880 to 1890; 27 from 1890 to 1900; 48 from 1900 to 1910; 86 from 1910 to 1920; 124 from 1920 to 1930; 162 from 1930 to 1940; and nine so far this year.

The Centennial edition which The Journal today presents to its readers represents a tremendous physical effort and a huge expenditure in materials. It contains 216 tabloid pages and 14 pages in the regular daily news section – the largest edition ever published by The Journal.

Into its production went 21,300 pounds of paper – enough to pave a strip 30 inches wide a distance of 116 1-2 miles – or approximately from Muscatine to Waterloo. If laid out in an inch-wide ribbon, this amount of paper would more than stretch the breadth of the United States, with the excess lapping over in both the Atlantic and Pacific.

Ink used to bring out the printed story of the long history of The Journal and the community totaled 550 pounds; and a huge amount of metal was used in setting up the written matter in type and in casting the many pages. A total of 770 engravings will be found in the Centennial, 690 of which were made especially for the edition.
