Jubilee Special Edition To Be Out 5 June The Journal staff this week is busy preparing for the “biggest and best” special edition yet—which will be mailed on 5 June to announce the first “Vacationland Jubilee” to more than 5,000 area residents. It is expected that the “Jubilee Special” will consist of at least 16 pages, and maybe as many as 20 or 24. It will be produced in the tabloid size, same as the “new” Journal, with some pages in color. Because the production of such a work is a chore of great magnitude for the Journal shop, careful advance planning is essential. The following notice was mailed earlier this week to all local merchants and business houses: Because of the smaller page size, and in order to spread the costs of distribution more equitably, the cost of smaller ads will be slightly more, and that of larger ads less than last year. The average rate is approximately ten per cent less, per column inch. Syracuse-Wawasee Vacationland * Jubilee Special As in past “open house” celebrations, the Syracuse-Wawasee Journal in co-operation with the merchants committee of the CofC will produce a special edition to be mailed to between 5,000 and 6,000 area residents several days before the event. The “Special” will be an attractive tabloid size newspaper of 16 or more pages, with some in color. In order for the Journal plant to produce such an edition it is necessary to adhere to a rigid planning and production schedule. Please observe the following dates. It will be most difficult for us to accomodate “late comers.” 1 May—Space order must be in our hands. In Oder to plan an effective promotion, we must know how many ads and size of each. Please make your determination, and mail the enclosed postal card to reach us by 1 May. 15 May—All ad copy must be in our hands. Send it earlier if you can, but not later than this date. If there are prices missing, or a hole or two to fill up, we can handle that part later, but we must have your layout and all copy possible by 15 May. Any copy missing must be clearly marked “copy to come.” 25 May—Final closing date for all copy. All price changes, corrected proofs, and final copy must be in our hands. No changes can be made after this date. 5 June —“Special” will be mailed to more than 5,000 area residents.
