613-432-6893 letters in proper order by mechanism. Other pages wereprintedfromlinotype slugs where the letters were cast in a line from a mould, a modern invention that revolutionized the newspaper industry as one man operating the machine could do what five men were accustomed to doing in the days of hand composition.

Historian Hinchley noted that "one of the four or five men interested in the development and marketing of the linotype was Andrew Devine, scion of the pioneer Renfrew families, and who became known in the capital of the U.S. as one of the most proficient reportersforTheCongressional Record.

• Author Robertson Davies' father Rupert Davies was owner/editor of The Renfrew Mercury. He spentsixyearsofhislifein Renfrew and his novel 'What's Bred in the Bone' was based on the town.

• In 1970, the Mercury amalgamatedwiththeThe Renfrew Advance and consolidated operations on Opeongo Road, the paper's home until 2020.

• In 1975, fire again struck the paper, as the office was gutted by two fire bombs, resulting in $200,000 damage. As Hinchley observed: "This was ablowtoagreatmanypeople, for at the time more than 20 weekly papers in Ontario and Quebec were printed at the Mercury. The arsonist was never caught."

• Owners/publishers of the Mercury included E. Roy Sayles, Hilda Frood and later her nieces and nephews Norm, Boyd, Kent and Elaine (Dick) Wilson. In1978, D.F. Runge of Pembroke bought the company and his son Fred Runge owned and ran the chain until 2007.

• Metroland Media, a division of Torstar, purchased the newspaper chain, which then consisted of 17 publications, from

Fred Runge in 2007. Shortly afterwards the printing press was replaced by a Global press. In 2013, that press was disassembled andmovedtoSmithsFalls, where the Mercury was printed until 2020, when press operations were centralized in Toronto.
