first edition of the
Los Angeles Daily Times; Cole (and Gardiner) gave up ownership of The Times to Jesse Yarnell, T.J. Caystile and S.J. Mathes, the printers of the
newspaper and the owners of the
Los Angeles Daily Times; they hired Harrison Gray Otis as editor (1882), who turned it into a success; Otis and H. H. Boyce purchased the Times and
Mirror properties (1884) and incorporated as the Times-Mirror Company; Otis bought out his partner in 1886.
