George S. Zemaitis has given a copy of the Daily
Notes to the society. The date on it is April 18, 1894,
and it identifies itself as the first issue of the daily
edition of the newspaper. However, it is undersized. Instead
of being 16 by 20 inches, with seven columns, the sheet is
letter size (8½ by 11 inches) with three columns.
The paper is the typical acidic wood pulp paper of the
period, so it probably is not a later reproduction. Perhaps
it was handed out as a sample, to encourage people to
subscribe.
