Vandyke and celebrated its seveuty- Mth birthday anniversary on May 19 at this year. In 1925 the Plaindealer was acquired by the late Charles F. Renich of Woodstock, 111., who appointed A. H. Mosher as general manager. Mr. and Mrs. Mosher have been at the helm of the publication ftince that date. Shortly after Mr. Renlch's death in 1947, the Moshers purchased the paper from Lucy H.

In leasing the publication* to the ttew operators, Mr. Mosher stated that his action was motivated by a desire to be relieved from the iieavy responsibilities that go with publishing of a progressive newspaper. Although they have no definite plans for the future, their thousands of friends in McHenry county wish them well on their long-deserved vacation, ^Officers of the new publishing company are Mabel S.

It is with a great deal of regret that, after nearly a quarter of a 'century of activity among the people of McHenry and surrounding territory, we announce that We 4|sire to be relieved of the responsibility of publishing your 75-year-old home-town newspaper. This is'done through turning over the job by way of a lease to a very responsible publishing company, which, we believe, will carry on the traditions of the numerous publishers who have headed . tfyjr McHenry Plaindealer in the past. : • • . .When we came to McHenry in 1925 and accepted the managing-editor's position we found an altogether different situation than today. At that time the Plaindealer had less than 1,000 subscribers, with four pages of the eight-page paper being printed in Chicago. Today it is necessary to issue I ten and twelve pages most of the time. ' * McHenry has risen in size from a city under ' 1,000 population to enter into the 2,000 to 2,500 bracket, and at this time the rapid growth continues. Some new factories have been attracted to our city to provide needed employment. McHenry has indeed been fortunate in having such a desirable location, being the gateway to the Fox River Chain of Lakes. Thousands of peo„- ple come to this territory every year for recreation and have, builded summer homes here comparable in beauty and location to anywhere in the country. This has also brought much new business and desirable citizens to 0ur community. In announcing our semi-retirement does not \infer that we intend to leave our friends and connections., In the first place we would not know of a single place to live our remaining span more happily t|ian right here on the Fo\ River. Having lived here for many years we believe we can almost rate as natives. In closing we desire to express our deepest appreciation to our readers, advertisers and patrons for the splendid co-operation which has enabled us tftcarry on and produce a newspaper which, we believe, ranks among the best weeklies in the nation. This is our home and we pray that we may be permitted to spend our remaining years among you. We are fully ^convinced that the new publishers will give to the readers a splendid newspaper. We ask that , they be given the same co-operation that we have enjoyed. TH$ PUBLISHERS. Thus we do not say good-bye, but just a fond adieu! MR. AND MRS. A. H. MOSHER. NEW MANAGERS EXTEND" GREETINGS TO READERS .The McHenry Plaindealer is now under new management, having been leased from Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Mosher by a publishing company, which is affiliated with the B. F. Shaw Printing Company of Dixon* 111. ° ^ In coming to McHenry, we want to assure the thousands of readers of this publication that every effort will be made to present a newspaper of the high standards which have been set by the Moshers. Although the present staff will be kept intact, some additions are contemplated, together with sufficient capital in order that the subscribers of this publication may continue to enjoy the very best weekly newspaper possible. • Under the extremely capable guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Mosher,, who have directed the- activities of this newspaper for the past quarter of a century, the McHenry Plaindealer has established an enviable position in the weekly newspaper field. With a circulation of nearly 3,000 subscribers each week, the publication has continuously presented the news of the McHenry area in a highly readable and interesting style. It certainly has a long an,d honorable record as an excellent weekly newspaper with a splendid history of service to its community and county. Politically, the newspaper will remain the same as it has under the management of Mr. Mosher. It will be dedicated to furthering the best interests of McHenry and McHenry county. It will make every effort to give this area a newspaper of which it will be proud. " In greeting you today," we want to at the same time respectfully ask forjvour confidence and goodwill. Our aim will be to g^je you the Jrind of a newspaper which, merits vout support.
