The Milford Chronicle celebrated in
a quiet manner it's forty-ffth anniver-
sary last month. In October 1878. the
nrst issue OF The Chronicle was pub
lished by Theodore Townsend and
julius b. Scott. Since that lime the
paper has been published regularly
every Friday; and it is the proud
boast of the publishers that during the
entire time not one issue of the pa
per has been missed. No even in 1920
when The Chronicles plant was gut
ted by fire did the regular issue Of the
paper fail to make its appearance
thanks to our many friends in the
newspaper business in Dover who Of
fered the use of their equipment dur
ing our rebuilding period.
With the advent of the fOrty-sixth
year of The Chronicle, the publishers
Of the paper feel that it is right and
proper that special edition showing
the advantages of Milford and lower
Delaware should be published. With
this idea in view, special representa-
tiVes have been secured to compile
such an edition, and they are now at
work on it. This special edition will
be known as the Forty-Sixth Anniver-
sary Number of The Milford Chron-
icle and will be published in the very
near future. The edition will be a big
departure from the usual policy of
The Chronicle, which in the past has
frowned upon such special editions. 1t
is only because of the Anniversary
feature that the edition is now being
prepared.
The edition will carry several pages
of graVures, depicting many of the
beautiful spots OF Milford and lower
Delaware, as well as showing many
views of the important manufacturing
plants in this section. With the adj
vantages of soil and climate, the easy
access to large cities, the short haul
to great consuming centers of pOpula-
ton, with their constant need of our
products, there cannot help but be
demand for home sites among us, once
our opportunities are brOadcasted far
and, wide. 1t is this that the special
edition hopes to do.
The edition will tell of the many
advantages which we enjoy, will tell
Of our present advancement and de-
7elopment along the lines of agricul-
,ure, horticulture and truck raising.
It will speak of transportation, mar
lets, enterprises already established,
churches, road building, and
I'll other social and other advantages
which we enjoy.

er spirit. If you would see Milford
