Title
Windsor Star
Description
In 1888, Archibald McNee purchased The Windsor Record, a weekly paper which he turned into a daily in 1890. In the same year, Mr. John A. McKay of Woodstock bought a half-interest in the Record. In 1906, Mr. McKay bought out his partner and became the sole owner of the paper until 1918, when W. F. Herman, a former owner of the Saskatoon Star and Regina Post, came to Windsor and bought out the McKay interests in the Record. Mr. Herman immediately changed the name of the paper to the Border Cities Star.
The Border Cities Star was born when W. F. Herman and Hugh Graybiel purchased The Windsor Record in 1918. Its first issue hit the streets on September 3, 1918. It was 16 pages and sold for two cents.
The paper expanded into its current downtown building at Ferry and Pitt streets in 1927. It was renamed The Windsor Daily Star in 1935 following the amalgamation of several small communities.
