1t is q common practice to speak of COM
plimentary tickets given to members of the
press, as ''desd head" tickets, meaning there
by that such tickets are given without com.
pensation. The fact is, newspaper men always
pay greater price for admission TO fairs,
|
kinds, than any other class of people. The
notices given in the columns of the news
paper, and upon which all such entertain
ments depend for their success, if reckoned
at ordinary advertising rates, would amount
to much more than the price of tickets given
for the same. The managers of the Plainwell
fair evidently thoroughly understood this
NATTER as on the back of their press tickets,
| was printed the following: "This ticket has
probably been paid for ten times ever by
the paper to which it is issued. 1t will be
honored in the hands of any man, woman,
or child, white, black, red, or yellow, who
favors the association by presenting it. It is
good for entrance and for grand stand, and
the bearer, if driving, will be entitled to pass
a team free. This association recognizes the
fact thatits splendid success is due largely, if
not wholly, to the notices so freely given it
by the press, and while we cannot render
an equivalent in cash, we return our grateful
thanks"
