This photograph was taken in the basement pressroom of the Courier Herald in 1909. The photograph includes most of the paper's staff; even the newspaper boys are featured standing atop a table to the left.

Another exciting feature of this photo is that the majority of those pictured are identified on the photo’s reverse side, as follows: Newsboys, left to right: Leo Klockner, Miles Parmeley, Roy Grimes, unidentified.
