Description
It is with a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment that I look back upon this great Twentieth Century of ours and say that The Onion news-paper was able to document and, to a great extent, shape this wondrous time in human history, as this fine time demonstrates.
As of this writing, I am almost 132 years old. I edited and published The Onion from 1896 until 1958, when my court-ordered retirement forced me into the medical wing of my 648-room estate in the East, with only my pudding-headed nurse-maid and my iron lung to keep me company. O, how I so yearn to relive my heady hey-day! The Onion was my very life, and I loved it more than any woman or fine buggy. I'm a news-paper-man to the very core! Printer's ink flows through my veins! For it is the right of every citizen of our great American Republic to be told what is going on about them, and it is the sacred duty of The Onion to tell it to them.
