|InqersoII Leaves PM
As Paper Abandons
HIS No-Ad Policy
BY the A.soe;oisd Pres.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-The news
paper PM announced last night II
would begin accepting paid adver-
tising, move followed by the re-
sigma tion of its editor, Ralph Inger-
soil, because of the switch in policy
after six years.
Marshall Field, president and pub
Usher, in announcing the change
said John e. Lewis, now managing
editor, would succeed Mr.. Ingersoll
Mr.. Ingerson said In his letter Of
resignation:
mo advertising in PM Is woven
into the fabric Of my conception OF
the paper and my conviction re-
mains unshaken that there should
be at least one mass newspaper In
this country supported soley by its
readers"
Mr.. Field did not announce the
date when advertising would be
started
Short on Equipment.
Mr.. Lewis said last night that the
paper lacked the equipment to 60
into full-typed printing of all types
of advertising at the present time
I'VE have only made the decision.
he said, "and we hope to start print
ing ads on limited basis some time
after Thanksgiving We shall have
to start on a limited basis as we
have not the facilities for more than
that"
He said theater announcements

and advertising of q similar nature
probably would be the first to ap'
pear.
4ar. Ingersoll said In his letter o.
resignation that true independence
for PM" could be attained only BY
the papers paying Its own way, add
ing he was convinced the paper
would be able to pay Its own bill,
"once we have passed this infia.
tionary period"
In accepting Mr.. Ingersoll's resig.
nation, Mr.. Field said:
mo one can mistake the thing,
lit (the paper stands for and tn.
things Its editors stand for. And
therefore, no one can belive that tt
take advertising now can in any wa!
result in q compromise with PM
principles.
Indeed In the light of PMS estab.
lished character, I cannot help feel
ing that there is more potentia
danger to PMS independence in tht
fact that its existence so largely de-
pends on whether one man desires
to support it than could possibly
arise from accepting support from
the advertisers of the community
- It's permanence can only be as.
sured If it is self-supporting."
Launched in June, 1910, with 9
circulation of $1,000, PM in a pro
spectus issued by Mr.. Ingersoll, sais
that "in place of advertising, how
ever, the projected paper will trea
advertising as news, and carry
digest of advertised items Is a serv'
ice to readers. The features vii
not be sold to advertising"
Bought Out Other Holders.

PM became the personal property OF
Mr.. Field who was reported to have
bought the voting stock of original
stockholders at price Of about
$33o,Ooo.
In a special eight-page supple
ment last June, the paper said that
ito meet the higher postwar ex-
penses," 1t would seek 100000 ad-
ditional readers. 1t gave its circula-
ton at that time at 1855 900 daily
At the time PM said 1t had re-
jected alternatives to higher circula-
Etion which 1t listed as cutting pro-
