Slep (1836-1906) was born in Germany in 1836 and came to this country when he was 10 years old. He worked in the newspaper industry as a young man and moved to Altoona to start the Evening Mirror in 1872. He would later change the name to the Altoona Mirror in 1874. Altoona appealed to Mr. Slep from the first. The people were hustling and hospitable; the city was prosperous; it was growing rapidly; the Pennsylvania railroad was developing its plant here; the outlook was inviting; the auspicious moment had arrived to begin to build his journalistic enterprise. As the first step in that direction he established a job office on Oct. 21, 1872, and called it the Mirror Printing House. From that humble beginning was finally evolved the Mirror Printing company and the Altoona Mirror of today. First Edition. RAREA1880BKLA - 06/18 COLU1880KBJR - 03/25 - HKREV662.
