Beginning in April 1920, a weekly column of “newsworthy” items concerning employees of Brunner Mond Limited was published in the Amherstburg Echo. Included were bowling scores and reports of other sports events, organizational meetings of Amherstburg Boy Scouts, the Brunner Mond Band, history of the Bowling Club, the Gun Club, as well as some local “gossip” etc. This column was published in the Echo from April 23, 1920 until 1924. Unfortunately, the writer of the column is unknown.
