The September 28, 1948 Oredigger shows that Golden’s merchants were generous in supporting the School of Mines student newspaper. Jimmy’s Shoe Shop, McKeehen’s men’s ware, Strawn’s bookstore, Foss Drug, the dry cleaner, the barber shop, the grocery store, the lumber yard, gas stations, the flower shop, the bakery…nearly every business in town bought ads in the paper.
What was really striking, though, was the number of cigarette ads in every issue of the paper…the tobacco companies recognized the lifetime potential of those young men and women!
