Webster's Nightmare, 2004
F. E. "Mix" Stefonowicz began publishing the North Dakota weekly newspaper The Wildrose Mixer in 1910. He handset the type and ran the press himself. At its close in 1970, it had a circulation of 600.
I suppose it goes without saying that such a subject particularly appeals to me, a fellow publisher. I wish I could have met Mix. I would love to know more of his story. These are wooden headline cuts, left just as were the day he closed the shop. It's now preserved as a museum in Crosby, North Dakota.
