With Judge James A. Clark, Sr., Paul Talbot and himself as editor in 1920, they took over control of the "Howard County Times", which had been founded in 1840 and had a long distinguished record of publication.
Beginning in 1940, Stromberg took control of the Maryland Printing and Publishing Company which gave him sole ownership of the "Howard County Times" paper.
Stromberg in turn created or purchased eleven new local papers in central Maryland and the surrounding suburbs of Baltimore County during the 1950s and 60s and employed his stepson Charles L Gerwig as editor.
