"If you really want to start newspapering, don't be surprised if you have to wear the same suit of clothes for two years. ... Still, you'll be mighty welcome. Come on in - there's nothing the matter with the water except all the sewers empty into it."

- from O.J. "Skipper" Coffin, a Charlotte Observer editor, to prospective journalist William Henry Jones in 1915
