THE TIMES CHANGES HANDS

THE TIMES CHANGES HANDS

The Paper Was Purchased Yesterday by

TIMES PRINTING CO.

R. L. Warren, the New Manager, is an Experienced Newspaper Man - Mr. Hans to Remain for a Time

The Daily Times has again changed proprietors and is now owned by the Times Printing company. The personnel of the new company is the same that has until recently owned and published the Charlotte Republican. It is composed of Hon. R. L. Warren and his son, Charles B. Warren, of Detroit, and Mr. Warren's son-in-law, Charles E. Ware, of Chicago. Mr. R. L. Warren is the manager and is already in charge of the paper, having assumed control this morning. The deal has been in progress for many weeks, but was consummated Thursday.

The paper will continue as a republican sheet and will consistently advocate republican principles. The present force will remain with the paper for a time at least, so that the only immediate change will be in the management. It is understood that the purchase does not include the Parker & Snyder plant, but negotiations are said to be on for the purchase of that plant also.

Hon. R. L. Warren, the new manager, is no stranger to Ann Arbor or novice in the newspaper field. Mr. Warren was a student in the University when the war of the rebellion broke out, when he entered the army. After the war he returned here and graduated from the law department with the class of '66. He commenced his work in a print shop with the Wolverine Citizen of Flint. He went from Flint to Bay City, where he started the Daily Journal, the first daily in that city. Later he owned the Albion Recorder and until a month or two back he has managed the Charlotte Republican. It will be seen, therefore, that he is an experienced newspaper man.

Mr. Warren was a member of the legislature of 1883 from the First district of Van Buren county and was chairman of the University committee of the house. He is now a member of the board of trustees of the Michigan School for the Deaf.

Mr. Warren's family is at Charlotte and will not move here immediately. They will come, however, in the near future, as soon as Mr. Warren gets things well in hand and is able to get a home.

Mr. Otto H. Hans, who has so successfully managed the Times for the past year, informs the Argus that he will remain temporarily with the new management, but expects later to take up a new business venture, which he has had under consideration for some time.

The consideration involved in the sale of the Times is not made public.

The Argus extends congratulations to Mr. Warren and welcomes him to the fold of Ann Arbor newspaperdom.
