    The price is fixed at one cert? Is that like one cent?
    Well, just like the price is no longer "fixed", the paper does belong to a political party - the democratic party.

    In 1880 a penny went a little farther than it does today

    I think it was typo. I don't think the fresh minty taste of Certs was around then.

    The Buffalo News did a story on their inaugural edition.
    Oct. 11, 1880: The Buffalo Evening News' inaugural edition

    News looked different in 1880, as is clear from the first issue of The Buffalo Evening News.

    The Evening News -- which followed the Sunday News as a daily newspaper -- offered the following editor's note regarding the debut:
    http://history.buffalonews.com/2014/...gural-edition/



    The word they can not read

    From the article

    “We do not think it necessary to devote much space in introducing the Evening News to public notice, neither do we intend to indulge in extravagant promises. For the former is unnecessary and the latter is contrary to our conceived notions. The success that has attended the Sunday News is evidence that we know the wants of the people and are able to supply them. Time and again have we been urged by business men to publish a (illegible) daily, and as we have been assured of their support, we have no hesitancy in making this departure. The Evening News will be all that industry and well-directed efforts can make it., and to such a paper we are confident the public will extend bountiful patronage."
    "cheap"
