St Johnsbury, Jan 3, 1889
The Calcdonian under the manage
mcnt of the new firm asks for the
same cOnsidcrat and support
which it has heretofore received. 1t
will strive to keep the standard of
newspaper work high. As i'll the
past ii will have convictions and it
expects to have the courage to utter
them. 1t will try to defend the right
and condemn what it deems wrong,
hoping however not to lose the
friendship and goodwill of its read
crs through misconstruction or mis-
apprehension of intentions.
The Calcdonian has had career
somewhat noteworthy. 1t was
started by the late Albert G. Chad
wick in 1897 y man of less energy
and perseverance would have failed,
BY no ordinary struggle hecstablish-
cd the paper. laying its foundations
broad and deep After IS years of
faithful, arduouS work Mr. Chad
wick handed over the paper to the
one who has held il ever since. His
successor has cndcavorcd to build
after the pattern shown him, and
pra .-ticallv in the 50 years of its life
the Calcdonian has had but two
managers, although George u. Rand
was half owner and editor for two
years or more, Ill 5f-5. 1t is not
strange, Perhaps that q paper found
ed on such principles and conducted
with conscientious regard Of what
q newspapers influence is for good
or evil, should have q strong hold on
the people of this section. They be
lieve it IS honest. they know it is
clean, they expect ii to represent the
best in all things In this they have
never been disappointed
The Caledonian appears today in
an entire new dress furnished bv the
celebrated Dickinson type foundcry
of Phelps. Dalton & Co., Boston.
The body letter is what IS known as
self-Spacing type, made by Benton,
Waldo & Co of Milwaukee, All the
type now i'll the paper is made on
what is known as the point sys-
tenn and we hope ii will prove as
satisfactory to our readers as ii
promises to be to the office This
Improvement is but carrying out the
desire of the publishers to make the
Caledonian Il neat and readable pa
per, not only printed SO it can be
read, but not diShgurcd with cuts or
other objectionable matter.
1t is but Just to the business men
of this place, who have so literally
used the columns of this paper in the
past and who are SO well represented
in its columns today, to know that
there are twice as many Caledonians
taken in this place as any other pa
per and that the circulation of the
Caledonian i'll this village is between
80 and 40 per cent. larger than it
was four years ago. Under the cir
cumstanccs this is an unusual
growth, as all readers must know
The fact shows several things; but
the one that is so plain that he who
runs NAV read. is that business men
know Il newspaper when they see it,
and also know that paper of the
character and circulation of the Cal
edonian is the very best advertising
medium they can use
With the best wishes of the pub
fishers to all readers for the year
just opened, we remain, yours truly,

GOOD ADVICE REPIDI4TED.
