The 'Chronotype' is twelve years old.
There isn't any paper that the editors of
the Pioneer Express read that is of more
interest to them than the Chronotype.
Sometimes special effort seems to be
made to make it interesting for us. How
ever, the Chronotype is one of the best
as a newspaper and of the very best
geographically.
