There appears to be- many different ways
of understanding the true meaning OF
newspaper patronage As 1T Is called, and,
As an interested party, we give place to a
disquisition on the subject by one who
knows whereof he speaks. II will serve,
perhaps. as a mirror where some persons
may see themselves as Others see them.
Many long and weary years have forced
the conviction upon US that newspaper
patronage is word Of many definitions,
and that Il great majority of mankind are
either ignorant Of the correct definition or
are dishonest IN strict biblical sense Of
the word. Newspaper patronage Is com
posed of as many colors as the rainbow.
and is as changeabe a. chameleon.
One man comes in and subscribes for a
goes home and reads IT with the proud
satisfaction that IT is his. He hands in
his advertisement. asks the price, pays for
it, and goes TO his place of business and
reaps the advantage thereof. Another
man SAYS you may put my name on your
books. and goes of without saying a word
about pay Time passes on. and you
want money. and want him to pay what Is
honestly due. He flies into a passion, per
haps pays. perhaps not. and orders his
paper stopped. This is called newspaper
patronage.
Another man brings in a fits cent adj
vertisement and wants two dollar no.
tIoe given it. and il you refuge he goes
of mad. And this Is newspaper patron
age.
Another man lives near you-he does
not take the paper-he don't like the edit
or-yet he goes regularly TO his neighbor
and borrows IT. and quarrels with the
opinions Of the editor. Occasionally he
sees an article he likes: he begs OF gives
half dime for the paper. This Is called
newspaper patronage.
Another man likes the paper and takes
q copy for his family, and pays for IT. and
does all he can to get new subscribers: he
never grumbles but always has cheerful
word for the editor. If any little item Of
interest occurs in the neighborhooi he in
forms the editor This Is newspaper pat
ronage.
Another man has a patent and wants
You t. give II two dollar notice every
week: IT will be Of interest 30 your read
ers. he SAYS; but ALTHOUGH knowing it will
benefit him most Of all he does not offer 10
pay for it. This is called newspaper pat
ronage.N
Another man has taken the paper for
several YEAR,, but has not paid for If.
and comes IN with a four or fy. dollar adj
vertisement and asks YOU TO insert II for
nothing. because he Is an old patron Of
yours This Is called newspaper patron
age.
