Volume 2!1—No. 28 io Decades ot Growth With this issue, the Nevada City-Grass Valley Nugget salutes 20 years of progress in our twin communities. We salute the brave new businessmen whose owners have added their abilities to the life of the community, and the shrewd businessmen who have carefully steered their concerns through the economic ups and downs of twenty years. ; Many of. the latter, who are represented in this issue; were also regular advertisers-in-our issues “of1928. These include Alpha Hardware Co., Keystone Market, Foote Electric Co., Broadway Theatre, Dickerman Drug Store, National Meat Market, Harris Drugs, Clarence R. Gray, Dr. George Shirkey and many others. The life of Nevada City, back in 1928, was closely tied to the mining industry: most of the news in the Nugget of those days pertained to gold mining. Sample headlines from the summer of 1928 include: HOGE MINE OPENS RICH QUARTZ LEDGE, VALUES SHOW UP TO OVER $220 A TON, STAGE DRIVER PIERCE SEES BEAR ON HIS AUTO HOOD, FIRE GUTS ALPHA STORE IN EARLY MORNING BLAZE, RATTLER UNDER CHAIR STRIKES TYLER MAN, DEBRIS OFFICIALS CHECK HYDRAULIC OPERATORS, HARRY ENLEBRIGHT IS HOME FROM CONGRESS, UREN TO MAKE MODEL LARGE MINE WORKINGS, SENATOR INGRAM HAS PASSED AWAY, SHERIFF CARTER GETS PRAISE FOR CAPTURE OF LING . The year of 1928, judging from the Nugget file for that period, was a boom year for the area, and for mining. However, the vast residential development which had occurred in this Sierra paradise was not at all in evidence. The character of the community was primarily industrial, judging from the pages of the old Nugget. 3 Nineteen-forty-eight has not so far been a” boorr year in any respect, but it has shown that the twin communities can reach a steady level of economic life, even without lucrative mine payrolls. ‘Nonetheless, every businessman in the area, while taking advantage of current opportunities, hopefully awaits changes in the national and international picture that will restore the rich profits of gold mining. In the meanwhile, many active civic bodies are busily at work promoting the county as a residential and vacation area. These include the Chambers of Commerce of Nevada City, Grass Valley, North San Juan, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Sierra Nevada Chamber of Commerce, the Nevada County Real Estate Board, and many other organizations . The Nugget salutes the 20 years of progress here with sincere respect, for the county has truly progressed . through the years to be an even more stable, more likeable,-more liveable, more lovable place to live— the best spot in the best state in the best country in the world!
