Biografie

The Jasper Booster started as a two page advertising flyer. Two issues were printed in 1963. The business was then bought by Ray and Myrna Matthews. They purchased an old Gestetner printing machine and started producing the Jasper Booster in their basement. They published the paper for the next two and one half years building it up from a two-page flyer to a full news and advertising paper having as many as 26 pages. In September 1965 the Jasper Booster was sold to Fred Donovan. He published it for many years. The Jasper Booster is now owned by Bowes publishers, a subsiduary of Sun Media Corporation.

The Jasper Yellowhead Museum and Archives received this collection of photographs from the Jasper Booster office. They were in a box headed for the dump. Fred Kofin, Jasper Yellowhead Historical Society Treasurer, happened to be in the Booster office that day and intercepted the box and brought it to the archives. In 1999 the the Jasper Booster was contacted to formalize the donation. A certificate of gift form was signed by Haf Baillie, Advertising Sales Manager, on behalf of the Jasper Booster.
