Notes:

In 1886 the Herald was purchased by Dingman Bros., who moved it in to its present elegant quarters on Market square. This paper has also been successful, being now a sixteen-page sheet, and sold to subscribers at $i per annum. In 1887 a daily was issued, which has now a large circulation. Both of the Stratford daily papers have a great advertising patronage, and certainly have done much in promoting the business interests of the city.

In 1863 was established a weekly German paper, named the Colonist. This sheet was founded by Jacob Teuscher, In 1872 it became the property of Messrs. Schmidt & Scherer, and five years later Mr. Schmidt became sole proprietor. The Colonist has a large patronage amongst the Germans, a number of whom are settled near Stratford. Since the period when the News was launched, many ventures have been made, but not with great success. An Orange Gazette was published for some time, but abandoned. These, with a paper called the Advertiser, constitute the journalistic ventures in Stratford.
