Piece of cake William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 5-9-18

So why do we say “piece of cake” in reference to something being easy? It stems from the line “Her picture’s in the papers now, and life’s a piece of cake” which appeared in a collection of poetry by Ogden Nash called The Primerose Path published in 1935.

Press plate for the first edition of the Garnet Valley Press, Sept. 23, 1992.

Springfield Press County Press Are No More — The death of a long-established newspaper is a sad thing but what might be even sadder is when there is no place to put the obituary.

We have been told that the Springfield Pressestablished in 1931; the County Press which traces its origin to the County Leader established in 1932; the Garnet Valley Press founded in 1992; and the News of Delaware County, which traces to the Upper Darby News which if memory serves also started in the 1930s, are no more.

All were weeklies serving Delaware County in suburban Philadelphia. They have been consolidated by Digital First Media,  the corporate owners of  Delaware County News Network, into something called the News and Press of Delaware County. 

R.I.P.
