The Liverpool News

When Benjamin Robinson Banyer took over the ownership of the newspaper, the printing works was moved to the two-storied premises then existing between Christiansen's Hardware and Building Supplies, and the Commercial Bank of Sydney on the Corner of Scott Street and Macquarie Street.

The photographic studio had a stage where Benjamin Robinson Banyer's daughters Joan and Shirley would give concerts occasionally and also had two trapezes set up.

This block later had the Monte Carlo Café built on it, run by Con Vallis and Jim Johnson.

Some of these accounts would be up around 100 pounds (200 dollars), and the Barter system seemed to work to everyone's satisfaction (up to a point); the shops had to advertise and they had to eat.

[3] The newspaper also covered events as well as the regular weekly coverage of each Sunday's sermons from local churches.

Benjamin Robinson Banyer would bribe his unwilling daughter Joan with a bag of lollies to accompany him to all the local churches to obtain the sermons.

The column was called "Flights and Darts" that provided coverage of local and overseas current affairs topics.

His son Bert had a regular sports column that included coverage of cricket and tennis news.

[2] The Liverpool News sponsored one of the earliest retail trade slogan contests in an effort to arrest the drift of shoppers to the rival centre of Parramatta.

However original print editions of April 1937 - 1941, 1959, and July 1961 - 1967 survived and are being held in preservation by the State Library of New South Wales, Australia.

The newspaper's coverage of its local and surrounding areas as well overseas news and events published prior to between 1803 and 1950s is considered to be of state significance.
