Careful readers of the Bangor Daily News will notice today that the small numbers printed in the Index at left read: Vol. 120, No. 1. Translated, this means the paper has started its 120th year of publication and you are looking at the first issue of the new year. Although the very first issue of the paper rolled off the press on June 18, 1889, meaning the BDN’s 120th anniversary won’t occur for another calendar year, these small numbers below are worthy of note.
