Publishers’ Note: Celebrating 70 Years!

While 70 years has been a giant milestone for Tidewater Times, we need to acknowledge some of our advertisers and other businesses in the area that have similar birthdays this year.

While we think 70 years is an accomplishment, some of our advertisers have even more to crow about. C. Albert Matthews and the Avalon Theatre are both celebrating 100 this year. J. Conn Scott - 98 years; Shearer the Jeweler - 96 years; Frank E. Daffin, Inc. - 86 years; Higgins and Spencer - 80 years and Lu-Ev Framing - 70 years. Of course, then you have other places like Wades Point Inn celebrating 146 years and the Robert Morris Inn that's been around for over 300 years!

So, happy birthday to our friends and customers. It is a pleasure to be amongst such impressive company! ~ Anne Farwell

"The Tidewater Times and Shearer the Jeweler… I have been advertising my business in the Tidewater Times for as long as I can remember. The mixture of great articles and creative ad posts make for the perfect combination for readers. My clients pick up for tide tables and give positive feedback when seeing my ad. Congratulations to the seventy year anniversary. Thank you for continuing to produce this product. The photographs are first class. The best pocket size magazine you will ever see." Best to you ~ Steve Shearer
