A plaque on the newspaper's building reads:
"The Kethcikan Daily News,
Called The Alaska Fishing News
When It Was Founded in 1935,
Became A Daily When Publisher
Sid Charles Moved To This Building
In 1935. The Papers Old Duplex
Press Too Old To Sell And Too Large
To Move, Was Broken And Buried
Under The Floor When It Was
Replaced By The State's First
Offset Press in 1966."
