The Unicn Tin es of last week, which Is
published on Friday, prints the following no
tice in conspicuous place in the paper:
Advertisers desiring change In their lads
will please hand them in by Tuesday evening
il brought in later we will not he able Ia
al ange them until the following week"
If The Press and Banner were TO publish
such a notice, and enforce such a rule, We
would ruin our business. Few persons know
two or three days before publication day,
what they may want TO print.
We adopt the rule Of encouraging advertis.
ers TO change at least once month. aud we
are always glad 10 get the copy as early as
possible, but If the change does not come
sooner, we are glac to get 1t after supper Tues
day night. when we make the effort to make
the advertiser feel that we are just as glad to
get 1t then as II he had brought 1t in q week
ago. We are here for the purpose OF serving
our customers, and II they get here at all with
their work, they will never be too late.
OF course advertisers are a reasonable peo-
Pile, and do not in Intentionally hold their work
back to the last minute, knowing that we can
do better work If we have ample time. They
know that II everybody held back his
advertisement 10 the last minute that some
body would be disappointed or would ge a
less desirable job than IL be had sent The copy
sooner.
Let the reader glance at the advertisements
which were changed or set up new this week
for the Press and Banner.
James Daily & Co.. half page.
Cohen's, half page.
The VIM. f. Bell Cash Co., whole double
column.
j. d. Kerr. 5 inch double column.
McDill q Tolly, iuch double column.
r. c. Bernau, 8 inch five column.
H. d. Reese, 81 inch four column.
Cross Martin, inch double column.
&. p. Hammond & Co., inch double col
umn.
The copy OF nearly all OF these advertise
ments WAS brought in yesterday. Only
Reese's and DAILY & Co.'S were set up Monday
H. may be waste OF energy TO do all this
work for our customers on the day before
publication, but we do not think so. If they
could not get what they wanted, they might
not give US what We want-the.r business.
We are In the printing business TO work for
the people, and we never shut them out, day
or night. They will find somebody at the of.
flee ready to walt ON them every day In the
notwithstanding Day, Christmas or New
Years day not excepted. We may not get
business on these days, but we are here for
that purpose. and we are In the business TO
serve the people whenever they may call on
us. 1t Is never too late to get all ad. In the
Press and Banner-if the paper has not been
printed.
We have no criticism to make of the way
In which the Union Times does business. We
are only remarkng on custom which
many newspapers adopt in order to run GUS
TONERS OF. 1t seems 10 be shortsighted pol.
Icy to refuse to do any work which custo.
mer wants done. II we have not already
gone to press we would change an ad. or sci
up a new one at three O'clock Wednesday
morning, even when we have tn get a large
part OF our mall off on The Gl5 train of the
same morning. But whether the copy comes
sooner or later, we do the work to the full ex.
tent Of our ability.
