Huntley Farmside Sports New Look
Due to a press size change at the publishing company where The HunUey Farmside is printed each week, the newspaper has donned a new look. It remains a five-column tabloid, however, with slightly wider columns and an overall
shorter page.
The change comes as a result of a dramatic increase in paper cost to the printing industry. Our printer. Southern Lakes Publishers of Delavan, Wl, opted to change its web press size in response.
We hope our readers enjoy our new look and we hope all our associates will bear with us as we adjust doing business wilh the new size.
