But was printed and bound by "Litho Printers and Bindery" in Cassville, MO. As far as I know it is still in business. Also, publishers of the "Advertiser", this use to be sent to all the Barry County residents free. Located one block north of the Post Office just behind the building where Emory had his law office. Emory's wife managed this business. Loretta Emory Published this book in 1995. Very interesting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda D.

I believe it was in Cassville because this was in the Local and Personal items, but I can't imagine which building it was in. ----------------- June 13, 1918, Cassville Republican Tom Preddy has a new machine and everything up in good condition for his moving picture shows at the Opera House.
