Door-to-door

Hello, readers! Just a little message here, from me to you...first, thank you for being readers! For those of you regular Saturday newsstand buyers of The Chronicle, buy no longer! Starting with the next issue, not only will we no longer have a Monday publication date, you will have only to step onto your front porch to get your paper - on Saturday. Yes, we have answered the call of our readers and our advertisers to take the leap and become a Saturday paper. But we've taken it a step further by expanding our distribution from 1,700 paid subscribers/buyers weekly to 10,000 homes and businesses across central Calhoun County. We will hand deliver the paper to you, where you live with your weekly Felpausch flyer, formerly delivered by the Ad-Visor. For those just passing through, you can pick up the paper at all of the current newsstand locations. Of course, for those outside the new coverage area, you can still purchase a subscription. With this change, we will be a reader supproted newspaper, much like NPR is a listener supported radio station. We hope you enjoy the convenience of getting your ONLY completely local news source free and at your doorstep. We pledge to continue offering the same quality local news reporting you've come to expect and rely upon, tackling the tough issues, hailing your successes and simply carrying the facts from the newsmakers to the citizens. Let us know what we can do to continue to strive to serve you better!

I think it is great that you will be delivering to all, the Marshall Chronicle, free of charge. However as a faithful subscriber for the past few years and one who paid for a full year subscription in February, the question has to be, can I expect a refund in the mail for the unused portion of the year or a credit at the photo shop??? Either one would be appreciated...and fair.

From Ad-visor/Chronicle Staff
We will be issusing a Credit Voucher that will be good and either paper for classified ads, birthday ads, thank you ad, or whatever type of ad you choose. It will be good "forever" until you use it up. Also, you can transfer the Voucher to someone if you like.

Does the Marshall Chronicle have a website? How would one out of town subscribe to the paper?

In response to your question about the Marshall Chronicle having a website, this is it. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the staffing resources to maintain a full fledged website as we would like so we've launched this blog page to offer what we can. What is it you are looking for in a website? Maybe we can offer it through this forum. Please, we'd love to hear your ideas. As for getting a subscription, just send $27 along with your subscription address and phone number to The Marshall Chronicle, P.O. Box 407, Marshall, MI, 49068. If you want to receive the paper for more than one year, send $27 for each additional year. For questions, call 269-781-5444 or email chronicle@jasnetworks.net. Thank you.
