Tony Ring
Freddy Tibbles was a legend.
Sheryl Iraia

Douglas Dunn
My intro to printing, watching the Lino Type operator loading slugs of metal alloy into printing frames. Great place. I cannot for the life of me remember the nice bloke who worked there . Long live the West Coast. A special breed of Kiwi.
Geoffrey King
Douglas Dunn Would that have been the printer Joe Askey.
Alan Messenger
I remember Joe from when I delivered the Argus. Also remember the night staff including reporters playing cards when we got there to pick up the papers
Douglas Dunn
My sister went with Ossie Jackson's ( previously mayor) son Ossie junior who was a motor mechanic. I believe both are deceased. Lived next door to Mr Jackson, where I had the privilege to stay with my family as a kid. Great times on the Coast.
Geoffrey King
Douglas Dunn Well there u go Doug I never knew Ossie Jackson was associated with the Argus I always thought he was a florist...Albert Street. You learn something new on this site every day
Brian Steele

The Labour Party propaganda machine...the Labour Daily
Alan Messenger
I delivered the Argus Guinness St, Leonard St, Arney St and Preston Rd 1951, 1952
Mike Minehan
Wasn´t Freddy Tibbles "clerk of the course" or such at the gallops in Omoto? I seem to remember my father mentioning him, riding a white horse.... correct?
Susan Barlow
Mike Minehan Correct! Also in Greymouth & probably other race courses as well.
Susan Barlow
I remember The Argus & I remember Freddy Tibbles but I don't remember this particular story. (I DO recall many other stories about him, however
Nina Townsend
I still have one
Gavin Case
i was the greymouth hospital paper boy
Frank ODonnell
I do that was the good old days went to the pie cart a lot
Alan Pegley
I was doing deliveries by bike in 1952/3. I got chilblains on the ears for my trouble. Rusty Lee was the editor
Don Hutton
Rusty was quite a good medium fast bowler.
Glenn Johnston
The "Grey River Anguish" and rival paper the "Greymouth Scar". Use the Guardian, the Times are hard and the Truth hurts.
Noeline Pinn
I seem to recall the full title was The Grey River Argus and Brunnerton Advocate. Am I right?

Yes I can remember I delivered the argus for Ron morris around runanga and Dunollie we would meet the queen mary on the seven mile road and take the papers back to Ron's to roll at 4am. Every second Saturday we would collect subscriptions and I got more in tlps than wages. This was on a Saturday after miners were paid on Friday. I also delivered the evening star for June westwood. Might endorse alan peglys comment. Rain hail and snow. And kids think they have it hard today
