Past In Review from 12-26-2002

With this issue, The Transcript completes the forty-fifth year of its publication; but although nearing the half-century mark, far from showing grey hairs or decrepitude, it is renewing its youth, aye, surpassing in its nature, manly vigor, even the robust promises of its younger days.

In the year now closing we have added 900 new subscriptions, more than fifty per cent of which are from those not of our household of faith politically – an appreciable compliment to the non-partisan fairness with which this journal has sought to treat all questions of the state and national politics, and yet more, a tribute to the attempt of the editor to make The Transcript first of all a local paper, primarily devoted to home news and home interests and above everything else, the promoter and champion of all that promises to benefit its patrons and the community in which it is published.

We always thought Middletown wanted a “live” local paper – now we know it. We are proud to know that on every question that concerns the public good – the welfare of the town of Middletown and the rich farming country surrounding it – THE MIDDLETOWN TRANSCRIPT has come to be recognized as a fighter-a hard “kicker,” if you please, against every form of injustice, wrong or denial of private or public right.

Again, this has been THE TRANSCRIPT’S banner year for advertising. Never before since its first ad was set for its columns, has it had so much advertising matter – indeed, at times, it has been forced to trench upon its local and editorial space to accommodate its numerous patrons seeking its valuable aid to bring their wares and business to the notice of the best classes of the buying and dealing public.

This circumstance of an increased advertising as well as an increased subscription patronage, is also a just and merited tribute to the paper, for THE TRANSCRIPT never was so widely and carefully read, its local, advertising and editorial matter so fully scanned, quoted and not infrequently combated, as in the past year.

The public does read THE TRANSCRIPT, even though not always assenting to some of its views. This gives value to it as an advertising medium and the most sagacious businessmen are recognizing that fact more and more.

So while expressing its entire appreciation of this liberal patronage at the hands of its subscribers and advertisers, THE MIDDLETOWN TRANSCRIPT promises to the utmost of its ability to surpass in the coming year of grace, its achievements in the past and ever increasingly to merit this flattering recognition of a courteous, honest and live local newspaper.
