Everything about Boston Morning Post totally explained
The
Boston Post was the most popular daily
newspaper in
New England for over a hundred years before it folded in
1956. The
Post was founded in November
1831 by two prominent
Boston businessmen,
Charles G. Greene and
William Beals.
In
1909, under the savvy ownership of
Edwin A. Grozier, the
Boston Post engaged in its most famous
publicity stunt. The paper had several hundred ornate, gold-tipped canes made and contacted the
selectmen in New England's largest
towns. The Boston Post Canes were given to the selectmen and presented in a ceremony to the town's oldest living
man. Many towns in New England still carry on the
Boston Post cane tradition with the original canes they were awarded in 1909. A
fictional recipient of the cane, Aunt Evvie Chalmers of
Castle Rock, Maine, makes several appearances in the works of
Stephen King.

By the
1930s, the
Boston Post had grown to be one of the largest newspapers in the country, with a circulation of well over a million readers. Throughout the
1940s, facing increasing competition from the
Hearst-run papers in
Boston and
New York and from
radio and
television news, the paper began an inevitable decline from which it was never to recover.
