Advertising Truths and Press Standards in 1900
An extended essay argues readers trust ads in well regarded papers, noting advertisers’ responsibility and the paper’s influence. It cites Wanamaker’s manager, champions readable ads in credible newspapers, and says the St Louis Globe-Democrat should be in every home during the 1900 presidential campaign. It lists subscription rates and promotes Globe Printing Co. samples. A Colorado Presbyter y committee formed a congregation from United Presbyterian Mission with sixty members and elected elders and trustees. A Carson City notice denies rumors of selling the business to Weaver & Bond or John Cox, thanking readers and affirming continued operation.
