“Lake County Press”
“Lake County Press” (Mr P. de la Perrelle, proprietor and editor), Arrowtown. This paper was founded in 1872, to succeed one named “The Arrow Observer,” which had been started by Mr S. M. Brown, and Mr H. J. Cope. Mr Warren, afterwards proprietor of the “Lake Wakatipu Mail,” for some time owned the “Observer.” The “Lake County Press” was started by Mr J. T. M. Hornsby, and Mr E. Sandford. In 1886, it was taken over by Mr W. J. Marsh, now of the “Wyndham Herald,” from whom it was bought by the present owner in 1895. It is an eight-page weekly, published on Thursday, and circulates widely in the district surrounding Arrowtown. There is a very good jobbing plant; indeed, the poster printing plant is one of the best outside Dunedin.
