Papers Stick To Utilities Dentists
Harrisburg March 2. Bills to regulate utility advertising and prohibit dentists from using pig newspaper announcements were denounced by the legislative and executive committees of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association. Utility advertising budgets would be controlled under a section of the U's Service Commission Ripper bill advanced in the House last night. Such restriction would be impractical and against the interests of all advertisers. William N. Hardy PNPA manager said the bill if enacted as written would result in loss of jobs for apis playes of newspapers and utilities.
