Brady Newspapers Move to New Office Location
Brady Standard and Herald change offices after nearly 50 years. L. B. Smith and C. D. Reed own the papers and bought the South Bridge First Street building from A. H. Broad Co. The move, planned for the first weekend after Christmas, follows renovations and consolidation of the newspaper plant with an office area. The Standard, oldest semi weekly in the state, began in 1909 and merged with Brady Enterprise and the McCulloch County Star in 1910.
