Mass Communication was More Fun in the Old Days
Who knew how local and national election results were reported in Henry County before TV and night time local radio? On election day, a giant tote board would cover the front of the Parisian Building (now BPU). No vehicles would be allowed on that section of Washington Street. Men on scaffolds would write the results for all to see as they came in. A large, sometimes boisterous crowd would mill around for hours. Ray Harding.
