The Delta County Reporter, 1920-11-08

The Delta began as a weekly newspaper published in Escanaba in 1886. In June 1887, they moved publication to the nearby city of Gladstone. Sometime between 1890 and 1901, the paper was renamed The Gladstone Delta. In 1918, it merged with the Delta County Reporter. From 1918 to 1922, the paper was titled "The Delta County Reporter and Gladstone Delta." Three issues were published per week in early 1918. The paper then shifted to two issues per week. After 1922, the paper was simply titled "The Delta Reporter." In July 1923, the paper shifted back to weekly publication. The paper continued until at least the 1930s. Its end date is unknown. This collection consists of issues from 1886 to 1890 and from 1901 to 1930. Because the number of pages was inconsistent, we are not always sure whether pages of the paper are missing. If pages are obviously missing (for instance, if there are an odd number of pages), it is noted in the metadata. Many of the microfilm reels were of rather poor quality, leading to blurry text and sometimes poor OCR. We recommend browsing this collection rather than searching it.
