The “Winton Record”
The “Winton Record” was founded in 1897 by Mr W. Keay, and was afterwards conducted by the firm of Howie and Keay till June, 1902, when it was acquired by Mr Frank Hyde. The office stands in the main street, on a quarter-acre section of freehold land, and includes machine and composing rooms, with a full up-to-date plant for newspaper and jobbing work. The “Record” is an eight-page paper, of seven columns per page, and there are usually from eighteen to twenty columns of reading matter. The paper is circulated throughout a wide area of Southland. Mr Hyde is referred to at pages 53 and 1,495 of the Wellington volume of this work, as private secretary to one of the Ministers, and as an officer of the Lands Department.
