Book Title: Memorial And Biographical History Of Northern California

LIVERMORE ECHO.—This paper first appeared in July, 1882, with the present
publisher, W. E. Still, as proprietor. Mr. Still, who was then actively engaged
in the real-estate business, felt the necessity of an advertising medium to such
an extent that he decided to start a newspaper on his own account; hence the
Echo, which first came out as a small four-column folio. A year later increasing
patronage compelled its enlargement to a five-column folio. In November, 1885,
the proprietor was forced to again enlarge the size, and another column was
added. In April, 1887, it first appeared in the present form as a seven-column
folio. The aim of Mr. Still has ever been to utilize the Echo as a means for the
advancement of the interests of the community; hence he has always kept the
paper independent of politics. His policy has proved a successful one, and the
paper has never yet suffered a drawback, having instead constantly advanced in
influence and patronage.
