South Western Advertiser

The South Western Advertiser (also known as the South-Western Advertiser) was a newspaper published weekly in Pinjarra, Western Australia from 1910 to 1954.

Areas served
At the time of its first publication, the South Western Advertiser was circulated in the south-western area between Armadale and Brunswick, and was the only newspaper published between Perth and Bunbury.

Ownership
Richard Sampson launched the South Western Advertiser, and many other local publications in the early 20th century. There was some concern about one individual owning a significant portion of the country's rural media, but The Swan Express remarked "Mr Sampson is at least entitled to the credit that he has given to several neglected districts a channel for the expression of their grievances."

South Western Advertiser Trophy
The newspaper sponsored a shooting competition in 1935 and 1936, offering a trophy to the winner. The 1935 competition was held on 17 March 1935 with a C Dawe winning. P L Pavy won the next competition, held on 31 May 1936.
