1892 – 1967, at pointer strength
The printing trade prints here at the size this section owns; its firms' whole courses belong to the media pass. The North Liberty Herald, established 1892 and operated four years to about 1896, was the town's first paper; its plant's address stands in a small conflict reserved to that pass — the brief for this build carried 139 North Main, the nomination identifies 137 North Main as the printing establishment, the only printing operation on the 1909 and 1917 Sanborns, its presses run by a gasoline-powered two-horsepower engine, with 139 North Main a dry goods store. The North Liberty News, weekly, 1895–1962, founded 23 March 1895 by Dell M. Woodward on Howard's first volume (his own biography in the second volume dates the first appearance 23 March 1905 — the conflict stands in the register, unmerged): publishers at directory strength run Dell M. Woodward in the early 1900s and C. W. De Coudres, "publr North Liberty News," in 1916–17; the paper was owned by the Independent News Company as early as 1940, and in 1967 the firm still advertised from a North Liberty telephone number as "Independent-News Co. Inc., Printers & Publishers — 'All Kinds of Commercial Printing'" — seven years after the News's 1962 end as a standalone paper, after which the Walkerton line carried a dedicated "North Liberty News" column. A third paper, the North West Indianian (c.1903), is attested by Howard at pointer strength. The town history book itself is a business fact of the trade: Gaylord Saltzgaber's Genesis of North Liberty (1978), attested only by the nomination's bibliography, stands under this build's documented negative — no copy located in any catalogue searched — and its shelf checks remain a named gap carried from the sources leg.
