Floyd Scott making up the Gazette in letterpress days with lead type. When the first issue of the Gazette was printed on a February evening in 1884, it was so cold the ink was freezing to the type, and the printer had to keep them warm just to get the sheets of paper off the press. In those days, the type also had to be sprinkled with water. Between the frozen ink and icicles, the Gazette had a rather chilly beginning.
