ANOTHER MASTHEAD MISHAP

  Regarding the New York Times issue numbering mistake
  mentioned last week, Tom DeLorey writes: "Many years
  ago, while I was living in Detroit, the Detroit Free Press
  'fessed up to a spelling error in its masthead that had been
  running, unnoticed, for 109 years!  The name of the paper
  was in a gothic-style type, and it inadvertently read "Vetroit
  Free Press." The error was discovered when a man who
  set type for church hymnals down South came to Detroit
  to visit his sister, noticed the error, and contacted the paper.
  The paper good-naturedly ran the story on the front page."
