Divorce Secured in Printing Business in Ann Arbor

LEASE HAS TERMINATED

Argus, Argus-Democrat and Sentinel-Commercial Now Published Independently

The lease of the Ann Arbor Printing Co., of the Argus, Argus-Democrat and Sentinel-Commercial having terminated, the Democrat Publishing Co. is now continuing these papers as before their lease to the Ann Arbor Printing Co..  They have purchased all back advertising and subscription accounts on these papers and will continue their policy of making the best local papers in the state.  The circulation of these papers is larger than ever before.  For instance, the Daily Argus now prints 2,350 papers every day to fill its subscription lists.  Any advertiser desiring to verify these figures will be given an opportunity to do so at the office.

In this connection it may be said that the Ann Arbor Printing Co. is going out of the publishing of newspapers and has offered for sale its papers, the Courier-Register and Washtenaw Times, and bids for their purchase will be received up to Feb. 28.  In the meantime these papers will be printed under a contract with the Ann Arbor Printing Co. at the Argus office and will be kept up to their usual excellent standard.  This offer for sale gives newspaper men an excellent opportunity to purchase a good newspaper property.

The Daily Argus and its two weeklies are not for sale.

The Ann Arbor Printing Co. also offers for sale the plates, copyrights, etc., of the celebrated Dr. Chase's Recipe book, it being their policy to divorce the publishing business from their job printing plant, which is one of the best equipped in the state.
