vertising publicity is what a newspaper
has to sell. 1t is as much a commo

ing a merchant to give them so much
as a necktie have no compunction in
ask ing hat an advertisement be given
them by a newspaper. The thought
does not enter their heads that every
inch of space so given. in addition to
providing them with the most valuable
kind of service, actually costs the
newspapers in editorial labor, in com
position, in metal, ia ink. in stereo-
tipping, In printing, etc, a very
definite sun of money.
