Yes sites can be once, daily, weekly, etc you pay to see, (or free looking). We chose annual with Toronto Star.

Newspapers are a wealth of info giving new info lost in time and correcting twisted facts over time. One US paper corrected the time one of Billy's plants was built and moved it backwards with pic and article on it. Think it was the Reo Museum that gave us a date from their files and we said sorry its earlier than that. They just took the date out of some book as true.

Who knew Durant Motors Leaside plant sold and maintained oil furnaces. That ad I sent to Carol who put it in Partner. Toronto Star 1934 provided two ad's where Frontenac / Rugby's were being sold off. Production stopped Dec 1933 at Dominion on those. It was unknown the C-400 / C-600 Fronty's had the Pullman feature. Steve checked his C-400 and sure enough. Also the C-400 came radio equipped as standard feature in the ads. US Continental's never had radio's nor glove boxes our C-400 / C-600 did. Montreal paper announced in May 1932 two new models the 685 Frontenac and a Durant. Only Durant model it could is the 633. 680 De Vaux / 685 Fronty /633 Durant all shared the same body, fenders etc, we just used the 32A engine, Depress Beam lights, and changed the name.
Fallacy the 1931 619 from Lansing was only made and sold US. I have a Leaside ad from the Ottawa paper late Aug 1931 announcing the new 619 with free wheeling as an option. My take on that is Lansing closed Aug 1931 and unsold 619's got shipped to Leaside to get rid of them. So we didn't make them but we sure sold them. They are not in Leaside aftermarkets.

If Google Newspaper Archives had not gone all screwy, I'm sure the Anaconda Standard would have been one of the many many newspapers Google Newspaper Archives had connections to.

Enjoy the searching in the paper and you might also find items lost or forgotten which help shed more light on Billy's empire and offshoots.
