Henry Louis Mencken joined the staff of the Baltimore Herald in 1899. Mencken's world had expanded from the confines of the family cigar factory to the world of Baltimore and beyond. This chapter provides a glimpse of the newspaper business during the early years of the century, when typewriters were hardly used and telephones were regarded as mere toys.
