More than 75 years ago, the first edition of the Peru Daily Tribune hit the streets, the product of a group of striking printers from other newspapers in the city. The first edition came out on April 16, 1921, from a small office on South Broadway. A subscription cost 12 cents per week.
One thing that hasn't changed over the years is a claim that appeared daily across the top of the paper in 1921: Almost Everyone in Peru Reads the Tribune. Inside the paper that same day in 1921 was another interesting ad: The Peru Daily Tribune: Some borrow it. Some steal it, but they all read it.
The Plain Dealer was established in 1859 and has 50 employees.
The Plain Dealer is published six days a week. It also publishes a weekly shopper, The Current.
