The Old Newspaper Office (G)

US$0.00

The old 'salt box' frame house, once ringed with porches, is the former home of the Bridge River - Lillooet News. Established in 1934 by MLA George Murray, the paper was a campaign promise to the Lillooet residents of the day. It was made famous by his wife, Margaret, who gained fame as the inimitable "Ma" Murray. The masthead of her paper proclaimed: "Printed in the sagebrush country of Lillooet every Thursday, God Willing. Guarantees a chuckle every week and a belly laugh once a month or your money back. Subscriptions in Canada. Furriners. Circulation 1573 this week and every bloody one paid for." The house is now a private residence.
