Classified Ads
Must Be Paid
In Advance
Because of the higher
costs of bookkeeping, the
Optic Herald will no
longer accept classified
word ads which are not
paid in advance
We deeply regret the in
• convenience which this
policy causes our loyal
customers who are
always prompt to pay
their bills, but in practice,
we have found that many
ads which are placed by
telephone are never paid
A national survey has
revealed that it costs
more than $3.00 to send
out a statement Even
when customers pay pro
mptly, a $2 00 classified
ad costs its $1 00 to run if
we have to send a state-
ment.
The deadline for pfac
ing and paying for
classified ads is Tuesday
at noon. We appreciate
your help and understan
^iing in this matter
