ABOUT ADVERTISING Advertising is a legitimate part of a newspaper’s stock in trade and something to be paid for like any 1 other commodity. Some persons in every community need education on this subject. It often happens that people will request a "notice” of ; their entertainment out of which they ; propose to make money, provided ■ they can get the notice without pay- ' ing for it. The chances are that the ; persons asking such favors cf a • newspaper have been to some other , printing office to get their circulars J and their tickets printed, not for noth ■ ing, however. They can understand . that the advertising which the circu- J lars and such afford is to be paid • for, but they do not fully comprehend • why a newspaper should not notice J and benefit their speculation with ; out charging for It. These remark:: < are preliminary to the statement of J a business principle which prevails ■ in all regulated newspaper offices, and - which is based on principals of equi ty. It is this: Whatever a news ; paper publishes that is calculated to ■ put money In the coffers of an Indi- , vidual or to further the interest of J his business In any way the news- < paper is entitled to pay for its , service.
