made his headquarters in Little Falls
this summer, was the unfortunate pur-
chaser of stolen Buick roadster Tues

into a garage in Staples for repairs:

purchased the car for something like
$3.50, with only a small payment down,
and he asked if it was considered a
good buy, which he was told it was pro-

A NEW printing press has been or
dered by the Milford Chronicle Pub
fishing Company and it is TO be install
ed early in the month of April. When
this is ready for use, the Chronicle
will be enlarged to a seven-cOlumn
eight page paper. New headings and
column rules, along with new dress
of display type, will make very great
change in the Chronicles appearance,
which we hope will be pleasing to the
readers and patrons generally. The
old policies and systems of making a
weekly newspaper are outgrOwn and
do not meet the requirements OF
present day weekly paper making.
For the past year we have been handi-
capped by reason of the newspaper
market, as we'll as the unsettled con-
dition in labor, and we have realized
that the MILFORD CHRONICLE was
not living up to our own standards as
4 local newspaper. 1t was impossible
to permit advertisers to use its col
umns to the extent they desired, and
give the news and general reading,
which should go with each issue of the
paper. The enlarged form of the
CHRONICLE when the new machinery
is installed will permit us to present
each week a paper of which the entire /
community can point to with pride,
and maintain its standing as a moulder
OF public sentiment. For few days
during the installation and shifting
Of machinery already installed, the
work will be accomplished under diff
cult conditions, but we expect to pre- 4
sent the CHRONICLE each week as
usual during the work, and then start
, new era in the history of the MIL
FORD CHRONICLE as a weekly news
paper.
