Show Beaver Press Again Changes Ownership Effective this week, ownership of the .Beaver Press passes from Charles S. Wilkinson to A. G. Merkley, a native of Vernal, who has been an employe of the Deseret News composing room for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Merkley are the parents of five children and come to Beaver well prepared with personality and training to enter on their new work. In Mil-ford Mil-ford on business matters Friday of last week, they paid The News a brief visit and we are happy to join in welcoming them to Beaver county. Mr. Wilkinson, who has published publish-ed The Press for nearly three years, is a veteran newspaper man i and everywhere he has been has published a paper that has been a credit to the community. This has been especially the case in Beaver and Beaver is fortunate to have had them in their midst, though only for a comparatively short time. The News staff has enjoyed close and friendly relations rela-tions and we are going to miss Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson, who, however, well merit a rest from the more strenuous part of newspaper life. |
