The real hassle in publishing the Newsletter in the past was photocopying, collating, stapling, addressing and stamping. Your editors are delighted to put all that behind us. In the future THE ELLER CHRONICLES will be printed by Closson Press, Apollo, PA. We provide camera-ready copy and they complete the process including mailing at bulk rate directly to our paid subscribers. The cost is competitive with what we can do locally. In fact we expect to save a bit over last year. Some saving will accrue by keeping the size limited to ca 30 pages. We hope future issues will be more attractive and more legible. Picture quality will be greatly improved.
Continue to send Family Group Sheets, Ancestral Charts, Pictures and Stories to your editors. Our supply of material for the Newsletter is getting low.
