"ARTHUR S. PEASE - Born Putnam, Conn., March 26, 1864; learned printing on the Woonsocket Evening Reporter, beginning in September, 1878; initiated into Providence Union May 28, 1884, and worked in this city a few weeks in that year; was transferred to 'Big Six,' New York, in 1898, and granted a withdrawal card in 1902, since which date he has represented the Goss Printing Press Co. of Chicago, Ill., with headquarters in New York City.
LEROY B. PEASE - Born Enfield, Conn., Feb. 2, 1842; learned printing in Rockville, Conn., 1858 - '61; initiated into Hartford Union in 1861; New York Union, No. 6, in 1866; Providence Union by card Dec. 9, 1871; took a withdrawal card from No. 33 July 9, 1872; founded the Woonsocket Evening Reporter Oct. 1, 1873, and continued with that paper until the fall of 1897; started the Pawtucket Sun in November, 1897, and the Woonsocket Sun Jan. 1, 1899. These last two papers had but a brief existence. Mr. Pease was made an honorary member of Woonsocket Union upon its organization. His chief distinction will be that without capital he started and conducted to success the Evening Reporter, in Woonsocket, in opposition to the long-established weekly Patriot."
