A WORD ABOUT THESE PICTURES:
Sign at top waslocated atcorner ofold Main Road (Main Street) and
Franklin Street. (Telephone number of the Post then was 300.) On
principle that billboards were a highway evil, Howard Risley took it
down.
Artist’s rendition of the old Post building, top left, shows the Post
building at corner of Huntsville Road and Norton Avenue, now Paul
Shaver’s garage. Post was printed there from the 1890’s until about
1925, when editor W. B. Fine moved back to Main Street.
Center left, the Post building on Lehman Avenue as it looked origi-
nally. A corporation, L. A. McHenry, Claude T. Isaacs, and G. Harold
Wagner, ran it, and Howard Risley became managing editor in 1929.
Present Dallas Po t, with two wings added to the original building.
