The tamer ef Churn's As the year 1947 comes to a cloee aad the new year is being welcomed, another event in the long life of the McHenry Plaindealer must be recorded, being a change in ownership of this newswhieh now Masher, __ managing-editor since July 1,1926, when tha lite Charles F. Renich purchased the Plaindealer from Prank Q. Schreinar. The Plaindealer is now in its seventy-second year, the fourth oldest newspaper in McHenry county, mtose already in existence at its start were the Woodstock Sentinel, founded in 1856; tl» Harvard Independent ir. IMS, later merged with the Harvard Herald, and the Marengo Re- «?• which began "publication Throuirhou* all theee years thb iournal has recorded the happenings of its community, always striving to publish that news which makes clean reading and smitting all scandal or items which might injure the reputations of any of the citizens living within thf eonftnes of its circulation. That policy will continue as long as the new owner is in charge. McHenry, we believe, is right now enjoying the beginning of a health* business growth, with several new industries being attracted to our city. All that we deed to make this increase more rapid is adequate housing and more and better rail transportation. Thousands of people are desirous of moving out of the crowded city, establishing their homes in the beautiful Fox valley, but thev must be assured of better transportation se> they may commute to their business places or positions in Chicago. This newspaper is ready to co-operate in solving this problem. The Plaindealer has always been Republican in politics, according to the flies in the office. The same policy will continue under the new ownership. It has been said that the local newspaper is the mirror of -your town. Through the three score years of its existence we believe The Plaindealer has rendered good service to its people. In this period there have been but five owners up to the present change. The paper was established in 1876 by J. VanSlyke. In 1898 it passed into the possession of a stock company, and in 1906 Frank Q, Schreinar became the owner. Chartes P. Renich purchased thritfjNttion in 19*6 and remained the o#ner until his death on March IS, 1947. His widow, Lucy H, Renfclw inherited the property, being the publisher until the present time. A* of this .date A. Howard Mosher will be the new publisher, at the same time relinquishing his duties as editor and appointing Miss Adele Froehlich to that position. The latter has been assOciate- editor for the past year. - To the readers and advertisers of the McHenry Plaindealer, we extend the season's greetings and trust we may serve you in the years to come by producing an even better newspaper.
