Keniston & Jernegan
Vineyard Gazette

Taking into consideration the benefit that would thereby be conferred upon the patrons of the VINEYARD GAZETTE, we have disposed of the property to Messrs. KENISTON & JERNEGAN, two gentlemen highly qualified for the important trust. The few months we have labored among you have been filled with encouragement, and will be often looked back to as among the brightest in our experience. With heartfelt gratitude, we thank you, friends, one and all, for the helping hand and encouraging word, and hope that the same support will be extended to our successors.

Edgar Marchant Resumes Ownership
Vineyard Gazette
Having disposed of the “VINEYARD GAZETTE” established to EDGAR MARCHANT, its former proprietor and founder, we bespeak for him the same cordial support accorded to us during the pleasant five years passed in editorial duties in this office. Mr. Marchant, so well-known to the readers of the Gazette in years past, needs no further introduction to the present patrons of the paper he founded and placed on a substantial and enduring basis.

Charles Macreading Vincent
Vineyard Gazette
After an unequal contest of more than four years at the editorial chair of the VINEYARD GAZETTE we resign our duties to other hands.

Gutenberg to Computers: Gazette Printing Keeps Up With Changing Technology
Nis Kildegaard
There’s little to record in the history of the printer’s art between the invention of movable type in the early 1400s by Johannes Gutenberg and the first publication of the Vineyard Gazette some four hundred years later. In fact, if Joe Gutenberg could have been brought back to stand in front of the old Adams press still on display in the Gazette’s downstairs museum area, he certainly could have printed the first papers himself.
