Herald Sold to Standard;
Publication Days Changed
Purchase of The Brady Herald
from Mr. and Mrs. Robert I. Bray
by L. U. Smith and C. D. Reed of
The Brady Standard was announc-,
ed this week. Sale of the newspap-
er was effective Thursday, Sept. 1.
Mr. and Mrs. Bray thus closed
out their newspaper careers in j
Brady nine years to the day. hav-1
ing taken charge of The Herald I
Sept. 1, 1348. Although they had no
definite plans, they said they would
remain in Brady at least until the
first of the year.
The new owners announced that
the date of publication of The Her-
ald, beginning next week, will be
changed from Friday to Tuesday,
with The Standard being publish-
ed on Fridays only. All paid-up
subscriptions to The Herald will (
be honored, so that everybody will
receive The Herald on Tuesdays
and The Standard on Fridays.
Consolidation of the two sub-!
scription lists will boost the two ;
papers’ circulation to approximate-
ly 3,750, assuring advertisers here
j complete coverage in the Heart O’
Texas area.
by the City’s “lady cop," Mrs.
Ida Mae Sears,
City Court Judge Mrs. Eve-
lyn Turner says that when
Hoffman and Davee failed to
pay the tickets after five days
she sent a warning notice.
That failed to get any re-
sponse either, quote the judge.
Judge Turner’s next step
was to issue warrants for the
pair, and City Marshal Gold-
en Jones made the arrests,
Hoffman on Aug. 17 and
Davee on Aug. 18.
Brought to City Court,
Hoffman was his own attorney
and pleaded not guilty to each
of the 17 cases.
For his "day in court,"
Davee engaged the services of
a fellow attorney, Ben Davis
Geeslin. Geeslin also entered
“not guilty” pleas for his
client.
• * *
Judge Turner, however,
found both attorneys guilty,
“on the evidence of the tick-
ets.” and fined them $1 and
$7 court costs in each case.
Both attorneys immediately
appealed their cases and post-
ed a $50 appeal bond on each
ticket.
Whether the attorneys are
“guilty" or “not guilty" of
“overparking on the public
streets of the City of Brady"
now will be decided in the
County Court which has a now
term opening Sept. 19.

A RESTATEMENT OF POLICY
A time like this calls for a restatement of policy.
The Standard has never had any desire “to run
things” in this town, nor is that our desire now. All
we want to run is The Standard.
Our move in buying the Herald was purely econo-
mic- Good or bad. the rising costs of publishing a news-
paper have made fewer and fewer towns capable of sup-
porting more than one. Hut our promise to you is that
The Standard and The Herald will always he open—to
those who agree with us and those who don’t.
Our job is to picture Brady (and McCulloch County)
as it actually is, not as we would like it to be. and not
as someone else thinks it should be. It’s the unending
search for the “truth.”
Stories will always crop up that we had much
rather not publish, but we are newsmen and not censors.
W-j are not so old and wise that we can decide what news
“is good for Brady” and what should be withheld. And
we doubt anyone else around here is qualified to do
that either- If wv can get all the news and let everyone
have his say, we’ll be satisfied. Surprisingly, we’ve
found that once people know the whole story, they in-
variably make the right decision.
Occasions will come, of course, when we may call
your attention to situations we consider undesirable.
If you want to do something about it, well and good. If
you don’t, that’s fine, too. We won’t force our opinions
on you.
Times also may come when The Standard can be of
service to you- Accept this as an invitation to call on us.
The Standard’s and the Herald’s news columns will al-
ways be open to you—for your big news or your two-
line “personal.”
L. B. SMITH
C. I). REED
The Standard, established in
1909, ha:s ranked among the top
semi-weekly newspapers in Texas
for a number of years, and for the
past half dozen years has been a
winner in the Texas Newspaper
Contests sponsored by the Texas
Press Association. Smith has been
connected with the Standard since
1928 and has been its publisher
since 1948. Reed, except for a
four-year span from 1946-1950, al-
so has been with The Standard
since 1928.
After purchase of The Herald,
they reiterated their policy of giv-
ing McCulloch County and its trado
area top-notch newspapers in Tho
Standard and The Herald, and em-
phasized that consolidation of tho
two under a single ownership will
enable them to (rive better service
to Brady and McCulloch County.
• * #
It will take a few days to merge
the circulation lists, and the pub-
lishers asked that subscribers bear
with them until the task of credit-
ing is completed.
And so, The Herald on Tuesday
and The Standard on Friday will
continue to bring to Brady and the
Heart O’ Texas “news and pic-
tures you can’t get elsewhere!”
