newspaper association and the ontarioquebec division of the 0 wna the editors corner please dont ask it isnt just plain cussednesa that has caused us to ban all jiandprinted advertising from the herald window its just jthe fact that were in the printing and publishing business and we feel that its not doing out business any good to have a window full of this kind of thing last week for instance we had too large signs advertising two forthcoming events in town and two written notices concerning lost articles now part of our bread and butter is the classified advertising section of the herald where we charge fifty cents for inserting an advertisement you will agree that it is hardly fair to our classified advertisers to give someone a free ad ertisement in our window the same goes for large display posters some organizations pay a few dollars to have printed posters ordered to advertise certain events in the interests of good business it is not to our best interests to give equal prominence in the her aid window to hand painted signs we realize that certain events may not justify the expense of printed posters at the same time rather than draw any distinctions we are making our ule all inclusive in order that every organization will be treated the same please don t ask us to display hand printed aigrifc or put a classified advertisement in the window a word of warning a new racket has been attempted in the owen sound district according to advice in the durham chronicle a man selling brooms which he claims are being sold for the canadian institute for the
