"Financial Post" Comes to Regina
A further expansion of the MacLean Plublishing 1
Co., Limited, is indicated in the following clippirig
from the Regina Leader for January 4, 1911.
"Word was reeeived last night that The Financial Post would
immediately open ali office In this clty, and trom Regina, cover i,
the provinees of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Negotiations have t
been for some time carried on by the board of trade with the
MacLean Publishing Company, Limited, Toronto, owners of The l
Financial Post, and the out(come is that on Motiday evening Mr. i
Biirdett, commissioner of the board of trade, received a tele-
gram from the business mlanager adrising him that it was their t
intention to open a branch office in Regina.
The Finanelal Post is recognized as onie of the leading
finaneial journals. It aims to present tO its readers in a bright,
Ipopular manner the invest-ent and financilal news of England,
Unilted States and Canada.
"Branehes of this paper are riow establlshed in London,
Eng., New York, Moultreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver, as well as
In Toronto, where the head office ts located.
"*The opening of a branch office in Regina of a paper so
well and so favorably reeognized on matters financial as The
Post is a distinet tribute to Regina as a flnaneial centre and
will be the means of making this clty better known as an invest-
nent and financial point all over America and Europe. Further
than this, banks and the few loaning institutions not at pres-
ent represented loeally are bound to follow the lead of The Post
and establish branches here. Investors and institutions in all
parts of Europe, tle StaLtes and Canada will look more than
ever to Regina for their investments and the opening of the
office will give Regina more genuine advertising in the right
quarters than eould b1ave been reTeived in any other way.
"From the point of view of the proprietors of the paper, the
establishment of the Regina branch is bound to be a good one.
The Post will receive the support of not only local finaneial
interests, but of westerI firms and instituti,n. generally, andl
beirlg practically ill the centre of the vwest will be in a splendid
position to add to its business froin the growing points i
Salskatchlewan and Alberta.
"Much credit is due to the board of trade for what
hbas been aecomplished in securing The Financial Post for this
-ity. Negotiations have been carried on for about six weeks.
The proposition was presented to the management of the
joura,l tsoncige, businesslike shape a..d, as business ien, the
exe,utive o nsidered it a g.od inove to imm.e.l.ately open a
hlra.nh office in Regina."
