The Pemiscot County court on Monday awarded the county printing contract for a term ending May 1918 to the Hayti Herald. The bid was 5 cents per square for the first insertion and 2 cents per square for each subsequent insertion. The sole rival, the Caruthersville Argus, bid 18 cents for the first insertion and 22 cents per square for subsequent ones. The Argus previously held the contract at lower rates, and the switch to the Herald is expected to save the county about 31,000.00 annually. The commentary notes the Herald’s higher bid may still boost local subscriptions and ad revenue.
The editorial argues the Herald offers cheaper county advertising than the Argus, saving residents 32 cents per square inch over two years. It urges readers to support the Herald to keep the paper strong and beneficial for the county’s finances and development.
