Each card consists of one or more entries in chronological order. Each entry consists of the headline followed by the citation. The citation consists of the name of the paper (unless it is the MUSKEGON CHRONICLE which is the only paper currently being indexed), followed by the month, day, year, page and column where the article will be found. Accompanying illustrations, portraits, charts are noted as well as editorials. |
