A machine breakdown early Tuesday in the packaging center of The Dispatch/The Rock Island Argus caused delayed deliveries to several dozen carrier routes, resulting in late or nondelivery of Tuesday's newspapers to a number of customers.
"I apologize for the inconvenience caused for our carriers and customers," said Gerald J. Taylor, publisher. "Some customers will receive their Tuesday edition with Wednesday's delivery."
