He later purchased "The Federal Union", creating "The Record and Union". In 1892, he purchased "The Rochester Post", creating "The Post and Record". Amherst Blakely had co -founded "The Rochester Post" in 1859 with his brothers, but sold his interest shortly after to move to Chicago and edit "The Chicago Evening Post". The "Rochester Daily Bulletin" was started by Archie Gove, who sold to Allen Furlow and Gregory Gentling in 1912, who sold the publication to Glenn Withers in 1916. The "Rochester Post-Bulletin" was created when "The Post and Record" and "The Rochester Daily Bulletin" merged in 1925 with Withers as owner and Clarence Blakely as business manager. The Withers family ran the paper from 1925 until Bill Boyne took over in 1979. As of 2013 , the "Post-Bulletin" employs 150 people.
