TIRE BRUSSELS. POST
TO McLEAN BROS.
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 Illx.pps-
itor, Seaforth, effective January
1st, 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.
1972, it has become a way of life.
It is indeed with regret that we
sever our cordial business rein,-
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 or 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 be 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
forms, tiekeets, posters. etc., line'-
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.
io all those with whom we
hove been associated in .the pub-
lishiu The Brussels Post
through the years we say thanks.
for your loyal support and wish
you a joyous Holiday Season and
Plc:leant relations with the new
owners of the Brussels Post in the
corning years.
