Today, your Hillsboro Argus changes its mast­
head to read “Volume 44, Number 1.” By this act
we mark the start of our 44th year—a year in which
we will continue to play an active part in the com­
mercial, social and community life of Hillsboro and
Washington county.
¡ng out a newspaper worthy of this progressive com­
munity. Add to this staff the 34 community corres­
pondents who gather news of your friends and
neighbors in outlying districts and you find your­
self served by a sizeable family. Then consider the
fact that 90 per cent of the payroll for this group is
returned directly into Hillsboro trade channels. We
ask in return only your co-operation, goodwill and
loyalty in a measure equal to our co-operation,
goodwill and loyalty toward you.
