“The town of Andover — with its history, its institutions, its extent, its population, its prosperity, its wealth, its business — deserves and needs a newspaper of its own”
Ahhh, the openness and trust to say where you were traveling to and from. Advertising was not controlled to truthfulness. Newspapers copied each other, so one might read about Andover in NY or PA. Hyperbole was freely given. Having search for individuals, these papers gives an insight to their lives, personality, and involvement in the church and community.
I thought about these posts recently.The local newspaper in Andover, England was named the Advertiser in 1940. Confused me for a minute or two.
A delightful read! Thank you and happy holidays!

Provides a window into the time long gone, which - surprise! - has much in common with today.
