As Northern Sentry’s new owner, Ted Bolton likes to tell people:

“My wife advertised her business in the Northern Sentry for years, I was so impressed with the results, I bought the company!”

After nearly 40 years in the Ag newspaper business, Bolton purchased the Northern Sentry and the Velva Area Voice from long time owners BHG Inc. of Garrison. After working with farm equipment manufactures & dealers all across the US & Canada, Bolton decided it was time to work closer to home! “I knew the Base paper was effective, yet it was underutilized by area businesses, it had plenty of room to grow, we just needed to get the word out!”

Here is the WORD!

The Minot Air Force Base employs approximately 6,000 active duty Men & Woman.

They have nearly 6,000 dependents.

There are an additional 2,000 civilian Employees.

That’s nearly 8,000 federal employees, paid every two weeks regardless of the local economy!

When you consider all this, plus new families rotating in and out constantly, the Minot Air Force Base represents a pool of potential customers not to be overlooked! The best way to reach them is the Northern Sentry, delivered every Friday to 1,500 base housing units, most Squadron work areas, and other high traffic locations around the base. 

“My goal for the Northern Sentry is to produce a paper that is the voice of the Minot Air Force Base. We are not trying to be everything to everyone“says Bolton, “Our readers are the nearly 14,000 people who are either active duty military, military dependents or civilian workers on the Minot Air Force Base.” 

Join with us, not only to support the men & woman who serve us so well, but to invite them into your business. You’ll be glad you did!
