Paper to be delayed due to press breakdown

Due to a breakdown with the printing press last night, the July 10 edition of The Franklin Advocate will be delayed.

"We do apologize for any inconvenience this might cause, but this was something beyond our control," said Publisher Paul Keane. "The crews where we get our paper printed are working to get the issue resolved so that printing can resume."

The paper —— which normally arrives at the local office on Tuesday night — is now projected to arrive around 1 p.m. Wednesday. This will cause a delay in getting them to the post offices in time for Thursday delivery. In addition, stores selling the paper will not receive their copies until late Wednesday afternoon.

It is expected that subscribers receiving the paper in the mail will now get them on Friday this week rather than the normal Thursday.

"Again, we apologize and hope everyone understands that this was beyond our control," Keane said. "We appreciate your patience and, more importantly, deeply appreciate your support of our paper."
