Everything

in

answer

If

is

forwarding
> your message to our fine Archives Director, Geraldine Pollard. She will
> attest to the importance of the revenue generated by our White County, TN
> volume.
> 5. No, book purchase is not tied to Submissions of stories and pictures!
> 6. Photos. We were alarmed recently when we saw another Tenn. County
> History (printed by another firm). The pictures were the size of postage
> stamps. We can assure you this is NOT the case in Lincoln County! Photos
> will be the full column width; 2 1/2 inches! Depth to be determined by a)

are
