Dear Roger,
I have forwarded your message on to the Mason City convention and Visitor Bureau and requested they contact someone at the museum to respond. Hopefully you will hear from them soon.

Hi Betty,
Please contact the museum directly with your wonderful offer. The phone number is (641) 423-1258. It is wonderful that you want to share your piece of history with others by donating this to the museum.

I am downsizing at my house and want to get rid of a few things. One of the items I have is the printing press that was used in the 1950’s to print the Fertile Reminder. It is not too big and I can send a picture if you are interested. It is a mimograph #77 made by A. B. Dick from New York. It has a round drum and is not too big. You had to cut a stencil to make a copy. I also have ink for it but think I disposed of the stencils not too long ago. If interested please contact me at my email address. I live near Hanlontown. Thanks, Betty Waddington
