A Century in Pictures
by News-Gazette (Compiler)
From time to time it's valuable to look back because it helps us appreciate where we are. As we approach a new century, and a new millennium, there's no better time to reflect on the images that shaped the road we've traveled. A Century in Pictures is a photo album of sorts - a collection of fond memories and important lessons learned in the life of a Midwestern community through pictures. It's a foundation for the next photo album of victories, defeats, hardships, and blessings.

A Century in Pictures reflects 100 years of life in East Central Illinois. It measures our progress and reminds us of the great potential that lies ahead. It's a recording of life in a community that survived the Great Depression and celebrated the evolution of its position as a technology mecca. It's how we traveled. It's how we communicated. It's how we lived.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book goes to support The News-Gazette in Education program, which provides newspapers and curriculum materials for classroom use to participating teachers throughout East Central Illinois.
