BY JABEZ RANDS (As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial next year, lobes Rends of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the history of the town.) Do you remember when the "Clinton New Era" was published in Clinton? The building now occupied by Durst Farm and Garden Centre on Isaac Street was once the home of the. "Clinton , New Era" for a good number of years, but it was not its first home. When the "New Era" started, it was in a building on Albert Street on the lot where the law offices of Beecher Menzies now stand. In 1864, Clinton had a newspaper called "The Courier" operated by Mr. Laycock. In the same year, a Mr. Kelly star- ted to put out a paper he called "The True Briton" with the result that both papers ceased operations within the year. At this time, Mr. E. Holmes, who had been working in the "Hamilton Times", bought out the plant of "The True ,Mr.••Laycciek put his-plant in, w it and the two formed a partneeshipAnd ,ealled their paper "the New Era." •Mr. Laycock at this time had a bookstore and his printing office at the back of it on Albert Street where the law office is now. So on July 6, 1865, the first "New Era" came off the presses. The "New Era" changed owners a couple of times and changed its name to "The Monitor", but very soon it was back in Mr. Holmes' hands and he renamed it "The New Era." "The New Era" was printed on a Washington hand press for a number of years and it was later changed for a cylinder press with an interesting history. This press was the same one used by William Lyon McKenzie in Toronto and afterwards was dumped into the Toronto bay. After it had been fished out and repaired, it became the property of "The New Era" and served its pur- pose for some years. At last, it was broken up and sold to the Clinton Foundry as old iron. By the early 1870's, Mr. E. Holmes had a frame building on Isaac Street just north of burst's, in fact, Mr. Holmes owned several lots on Isaac Street.' In 1883, Mr, Holmes took his son Robert into the business and it became Holmes and Son. It remained this way until 1894 when Robert took over the lot where Durst's now stands from his father and had a building erected for the "New Era" office. Robert Holmes ran the Clinton "New Era" until 1909 when it was purchased by W. H. Kerr, who also owned the "Brussels Post" and the "Blyth Standard" at that time. His son J. Leslie Kerr took over the management of "The New Era," The first power used to drive the large press was a small upright steam engine. This was sold and they used electric power from the Clinton Electric Light Company about 1908. In 1916, the Electric Light Company was closed down and from then on, hydro power was used. In 1924, Mr. E. Hall, owner of the "News-Record," bought the "New Era" and amalgamated the two papers into one, calling it the "News-Record." ph oto wf Services 12 ISSAC ST.
