Rensselaer Journal, Volume 11, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 September 1901 — Working the Newspapers. [ARTICLE]

Working the Newspapers.

The Journal has received a sheet of press notices advertising the. Lafayette Carnival, of which we are asked to give free insertion. The Lafayette Carnival is a big affair each year, but is able to pay for their advertising the same as other concerns, and would find that the money spent with newspapers would be well invested. The Journal has decided to give no more free advertising to affairs of this kind, and other papers should stand up for their rights and do likewise. The Kankakee, 111., fair is another concern that tries to work the newspapers for valuable advertising with a non-transferable complimentary ticket to the fair.
