OF CORVALLIS
NEWSPAPER CONSOLIDATION
The Corvallis Gazette and Corvallis Times, the Two Oldest Papers in Benton
County, Will Combine to Give the Public the Best Possible
Newspaper Service.

Announcement to the Public:
On and after Thursday, July 1, 1909, The Corvallis
Gazette and the Corvallis Times will be consolidated under
daily and weekly edition under the name of THE COR
WALLIS GAZETTE-TIMES with N. r. Moore and Chas.
l.. Springer as editors and publishers.
This consolidation of the two Oldest and leading
papers in this part of the Willamette Valley is the result
of long and careful consideration and will, it is confidently
believed, result in many ways to the good of this city and
county.
Realizing that the rapid growth of Corvallis de-
manded the best newspaper service that could be given
both the Gazette and Times had made arrangements to
publish a daily edition, and while each paper, in its pros
porous condition and with it's respective clientele could have
gone ahead and carried out to the fullest extent its own
plans, it has been deemed wise to concentrate their facili-
ties and by SO doing be in a better position to serve the
public with one frstclass daily and weekly paper.
From every point of view it is certain that this con-
solidation will be for the best interests of the people of
Corvallis and Benton county, for it will be the constant aim
of the publishers to give TO the public the best possible
newspaper. service that conditions will warrant and to keep
making improvements commensurate with the growth of
the city and country.
The combined circulation of the two papers will give
the merchants a medium that cannot be exceled for adver.
Using purposes, and at the same time enable them to real
ize the greatest results from their appropriations for this
p lrposea
There should be no good reason why the change
will not provei in every way beneficial and be welcomed
by the business men and the readers of both papers, re-
CARELESS of any sentimental ideas about the continuance OF
the citys oldest papers. The daily should be taken ir
every home in the city, and the weekly should find ar
abiding place in every home not reached by the daily. The
public, in helping to bring about this result, will be aiding
to build up for Corvallis and Benton county a daily ane
weekly publication that will be a source of genuine pleas
ure and pride. y
Unexpired subscriptions to the Times and Gazette
will be filled out with issues of either the Daily or Weekly
Gazette as may be preferred. Money due will b
paid at the office of the consolidated papers.
This consolidation gives the Gazette Times a first
class Job office and even this will be added to Immediately
i so that all classes of printing required in this city may b
done here as ~acceptably as il is done at Portland or else
where. This should be appreciated and supported prop
erly.
Until a satisfactory location can be found for tn
combined plants, the Gazette Times will be issued from
the present Gazette office and job work will be done a
the Times office.
With the one object in view of publishing a pape
that shall be a credit to Corvallis and Benton county, AM
with the determination to always work for the good c
