How about the publisher in question who ofiers the two for $1.50? 13 he not actual- ly paying 230. to get an additional subscription to the Family Herald? \‘e haven’t a word to say against the Herald. which we look upon. as a marvel of cheapness at the price they get. but without hesitation we pro- nounce it as our opinion that the local publisher who pursues such a course will sooner or later find he is making one of the great blunders of his business career. “I had a most stubborn cough {or many years.
