John Baird was the proprietor of the Traralgon Record until December 1885, when it was purchased by Neale & Co. Neale & Co then sold to Ford Bros in February 1886, who then sold to Mr J. Burland & Mr A.C. Stevens in September 1888. In 1890, the partnership between Mr J. Burland and Mr A.C. Stevens was dissolved and Mr A. C. Stevens became partners with Mr John Guest, whose family continued to own the paper until it ceased on 22 December 1932. The final issue of the Traralgon Record stated, “For 42 years the newspaper has been in the hands of the Guest family, and the sole reason of its ceasing publication is the retirement from business life of the Editor and Proprietor (Mr J.Guest).”R.M. Henderson, Harking Back, or, Traralgon in the early eighties, Historical Committee of Traralgon, Traralgon, Vic. 1946
The Traralgon Record was then absorbed by the Journal (Traralgon) in December 1932 under the ownership of Mr E. Barbor.Elizabeth Morrison, Engines of Influence: Newspapers of Country Victoria, 1840-1890, Melbourne University Publishing, Melbourne 2005
