The Elgin Echo lists weekly publication details from Higin and F. W. Hughes. It notes postoffice second class mail status, local column ads at five cents per line, and display ads run until discontinued. Subscriptions are $1.60 per year, 76 cents for six months.
Echo readers urged to keep subscriptions paid up by checking the yellow tag with the date opposite their name. Treasury Department is pressed to coin a half-cent piece, with petitioners arguing any item bought for half a cent would support consideration.
