PRESERVE WILDLIFE be its first daily newspaper, The Telegram (now The Oshawa Times). Several years later the paper was sold to the Mundy- Goodfellow interests and a new company, Aiger Press Limited was formed with S. R. Alger as President. The new Company steadily progressed in its new quarters on Albert Street and when it entered the Lithographic field in 1932, ten acres of land were acquired in Whitby and this new Department established in the large residence on that property. At the start of the second World War it was again neces- sary to find more space; this time in two floors of the old Williams Piano Factory on Rich- mond Street. When the war ended in 1945, still more space was required. The steel short- age had made it impossible to construct a large new plant at the Whitby location as original- ty planned: so the company pur- chased the former Knox Glass factory on Charles Street. By ithe summer of 1946, the equip- jment from all three plants had /been moved into the large new quarters.
