(erielack) I've been working on the railroad

 Harold, I remember the school "newspapers" when I was in grade and high schools.  Those were
printed in quantities from 100 - 1200 on pretty cruddy quality paper.  I bet the DL&W didn't really
have that much demand for applications, so printing them in batches of say, 200 or so, was probably
"good enough."

What we can do without a second thought today using computers would render the school administrators
of the 1940s speechless.
