KENNEDY SELLS THE BRUSSELS 'POST TO McLEAN EROS, OF SEAFORTH. It is with, mingled feelings of regret and relief that we announce the sale of The Brussels Post to McLean Bros. of the Huron Expos-. itor, Seaforth„ effective January ist, 1972, So this is the last edition of the post to be published under the Kennedy name. After almost forty years as the publisher of this weekly, which, along with the, Village of Brussels. celebrates its Centennial in '4972, it has become a way of life. ft is indeed with regret that we -- sever our cordial business rela- tions with our many faithful subscribers through those years, and those who joined us along the way, and the pleasant association with advertisers, correspondents, and press reporters, We will miss all this. The time has now come when the ever increasing work load, tension and time pressure, assoc_ iated with publishing of any news- paper, has become too much for the two of us to cope with effic- iently. Thus. we felt that the sale to a competent publisher would be to the benefit of all concerned, A. Y. McLean is such a publisher with extensive newspaper exper- ience, As long as the people of this community, advertisers, sub- scribers, and contributors of news. support The Brussels Post adequately, they will have their own local paper. It will now be printed in the modern offset rather than letterpress as in the past. The Post is the last weekly in Huron County to he printed letter- press. The Kennedys will still be in business at the Post Publishing House where Roy is continuing with the commercial printing, letter heads, envelopes, account farms, tickeets, posters, etc., lime; of excellent wedding and social stationery, as usual. Evelyn has been retained as editor of The Post and will be in the office to accept news items, sports reports, classified ads subscriptions etc. as before. We ask that all such copy be sent, phoned or brought to the office No Later Than Mon- day, Roy and Evelyn Kennedy All advertising and subscription accounts overdue must be paid within 30 days or they will be handed ill for collection and cost. flytopoln Poo 1130 583 530 343 259 217 8112 NO PAPER 614 NUT NYVH-1( forest with the Fairy Oneen, Played by Jacqueline Workman.
