...stanch Republican, anti New Deal. Rich with local department store advertising in the lush 1920s, it began to sicken when Depression I set in. Handsome, silver-haired Publisher Carl Jones (an amateur card-trick expert) shuffled his journalistic cards to no avail. To the Star went his acrid Managing Editor George H.
