Spalthoff (Editor of Humbird Enterprise - 1949)

Carl Spalthoff of Madison has purchased the printing equipment, good will and subscription list of the Humbird Enterprise, the legal transfer as of Feb 1^st, 1949.  All paid in advance subscriptions will be filled by him and all arrearages are to be paid by him.  Mr. Spalthoff comes here an experienced and progressive printer and editor and will be enabled to give the community a much better service than I have been able to do the past few years.  His wife is here with him and assists in the office.  They have two daughters, one of whom is married and lives in Madison, and their younger daughter is attending the Columbia County Normal School at Columbus.

Come in a get acquainted with them.

I will be at the office as usual for a while, attending to the collections and other business.  And I will assist in gathering news for the paper.  All who have so kindly helped in that line are requested to continue to do so.

Let me take this opportunity to than all who through the years have been patrons of the paper and printing plant, all those who assisted in keeping the news items in the columns, and all for their many favors granted.  In the past couple of weeks, since my accident, I want to express my gratitude to those who have sent cards, sunshine boxes, helped with the work, and called at the house while I was confined at home.  The thoughtfulness and help of so many helped a lot when a twinge of pain racked the old frame.  I thank you all.
