BUTLER, N.J., Oct. 7 – Chauncey H. Griffith, 77, a prominent designer of printing type and retired vice president of the Merganthaler Linotype Co., died here today.
Mr. Griffith was responsible for much of the newspaper type of today and designed the type used in 90 percent of the nation’s telephone books.
A year ago Griffith, a native of Sherritt’s, Ohio, gave to the University of Kentucky his collection of original material on type designing, said to be the world’s definitive collection of such material. Services will be held in Lexington, Ky., Tuesday.
Lewis Wiseman, who has been a reader of the News nearly ever since its first issue, sends in remittance from his home at Sherritt, Ohio, this week, for which he has our thanks.
Mr. Wiseman is one of these all-wool-and-a-yard-wide Republicans, and in closing his letter he remarks thusly: “Use your paper against Cleveland and Free Trade, and you are sure of success. We of (he are in favor of John Sherman for our next President, but if he is defeated in the Convention we propose to roll up 40,000 majorities for tho man who is placed on the ticket.” That suits us, friend Wiseman; and Kansas will be with Ohio in the front row when the final roundup takes place, and don’t you forget it.
Many thanks for your generous support of a new frontier paper, and may you ever be actuated by principles as benevolent. Here’s to your future success.
