Cincinnati Seen from the Newport Bridge
This photograph shows the city of Cincinnati, Ohio from the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. In the foreground is the Roebling Suspension Bridge, also known as the Newport Bridge, which connects Covington and Cincinnati. The bridge, which has a 500-foot span between columns, was built in 1867.
This photograph was published in Book of Views of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1904 by the S. H. Knox & Company. Published not quite 125 years after the first settlers, it promotes the Queen City as a prosperous, burgeoning manufacturing center, and a desirable place to live. The booklet is 48 pages and measures 8” x 10” (20.32 x 25.4 cm).
“Mr. Goldman scored Honest Tea’s first notable sale, to Whole Foods Market, by carting in several insulated containers of teas and a sample bottle — an empty Snapple container with a makeshift label — that persuaded the grocer to order several cases.” —

Newspaper to Charge People to Comment -
(via nostrich, sasquatchmedia)
From tomorrow, the Sun Chronicle, a Massachusetts paper, will charge would-be commenters a nominal one-off fee of 99 cents. But it has to be paid by credit card, which means providing a real name and address.
And the name on the credit card will be the name that will appear on comments. So it’s goodbye to anonymity.
This is an excellent idea, and I bet it will work: there will still be plenty of comments (not as many, but enough), and they’ll be more civil, more intelligent, and better written.
