Thr Brampton Conservator is indexed from October 1876-1929 and is available at the Peel Archives on microfilm, you might also try the Bolton Enterprise, which is not indexed, as far as I know.

Many thanks, Jane -- I knew you would have the answer. When the Bramalea Guardian came into Brampton about 1969 during a Flower Festival weekend, I filed at least 200 Brampton history stories. Some day must go to the Chinguacousy Library to see if the microfilm is available. Many of the businesses are no longer in business -- so it would be great to have a copy of what I learned at that time, e.g. Boyle's Book Store and others.
