Andover Advertiser
The Andover Advertiser was the weekly newspaper of record for the Town of Andover, Massachusetts from February 19, 1853 to February 10, 1866. It was continued by the Lawrence American and Andover Advertiser. Founded in 1853 by publisher John D. Flagg, The Andover Advertiser masthead featured the slogan, " The life of agriculture trade and commerce is a good advertising medium." Andover publisher and printer Warren F. Draper became publisher of the Andover Advertiser in May 1855 and remained in that role until the newspaper dissolved in 1866. Draper also partly edited the publication. [1] The Andover Advertiser is described in Scott H. Paradise's book, A History of Printing in Andover Massachusetts as being 14 inches tall by 11 inches wide with four columns to a page. Paradise lists the following as regular contributors to the newspaper: George Foster, Eastman Sanborn, and Moses Foster, [2]
