NEWS ABOUT CHICAGO NEWSPAPERS

Of course you have noticed the

!. But did you ever stop; to think
that every one of those adyer-
tisements calls attention to the
superiority of one paper or an
other as an advertising, medium?
i That indicates that the pub
Usher has advertising ttppermost
in his mind. He isn't publishing
his newspaper to do the world
any good, or to make. Chicago a
better place for good men, women
and children to liye,i He's pub
fishing it to get advertising. And
he publishes advertising to get
fhe money.
OF course there is interesting
reading matter in the papers.
That has to be put in Something
must be done to get the paper in
YOUR hands so you'll read the
advertisements. '.l.:..&
! Why, the publishers will even
pay people TO take their papers,
even though they lose money on
the white paper. For they are
.drummers for their advertisers,
and the more readers they can
get, the more money they can
pull down from the advertisers.

big exhibition at the Coliseum,
one of the Hearst papers had a
big editorial on how bad wine and
whisky were for the human .sys-
TEN, but how harmless and .bene-
fetal beer was?
And didn't'you notice the news
stories and editorials on the back
to-the-soil movement, when the

Coliseum, and the papers were full
