Suburbia boomed, and consumer spending grew. Pages were filled with advertisements for televisions, casual attire and -- most of all -- automobiles. An additional insert called the Foothill Living Section commonly came with the paper.

I hope you will reconsider, and return the Kimber's column to the Glendale News-Press. Lucile Leard Glendale    

Local dignitaries, business leaders and other notable public figures mingled with Glendale News-Press and Foothill Leader staffers Monday night to welcome the return to the newspapers' former names. Two years ago, the papers were consolidated and renamed News-Press. On Saturday, they reverted back to their old names. The party also celebrated the Glendale News-Press special section, Glendale's Back!, informing readers on the facets of the community, ranging from public safety and business to sports and local politics.
