The front page of an extra edition published by the "Manitowoc Herald-Times" on Sunday, December 7, 1941 reported the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor with a headline "Japs War on U.S." Normally, the "Herald-Times" did not publish on Sundays, and extra editions were very rare. This extra was printed on four full-size newspaper pages because it was easier to run off in that format. The first two pages carried war news; the last two reprinted the previous day's comics and classified ads to fill the remaining space. First word of the Japanese attack came into the Herald-Times office early in the afternoon of December 7, and the paper set up a special wire to receive news dispatches from the Associated Press. Staff were hurriedly summoned, and the war "extra" was on the street by late afternoon. Newsboys were called in to distribute the paper along their regular routes. The Herald-Times also dispatched bulletins to the Capitol Theater, where they were read to the audience attending a Sunday afternoon movie. Nearby, Manitowoc radio station WOMT received notice of the Pearl Harbor attack via United Press Wire Service, and the station manager made a similar announcement to the audience at the Mikadow movie theater.
