CHEAP PUBLICITY SOUGHT BY
RINGLING-BARNUM
The spirit of old man Barnum, whose observa
tion made decades ago that "a sucker is born
every minute" seems to still inspire the aggre
gation touring the country under the name of
Ringling-Bamum shows.
This outfit evidently specializes—in its propa
ganda—on country newspapers.
As the proposition is in printed form, we pre
sume it has also been mailed to other newspapers
within the territory in which the show expects to
spread its canvas.
The offer says: "We send you two stories which
if you will publish in your paper, and bring us
the proofs with copy of your paper on opening
day, we will honor the enclosed ticket for two ad ■
missions to our great and only show."
As the two entrances are sold for 75 cents
each, and as the advertising space at our regu
lar rates would foot up $24.50, the proposition if
accepted by us would make us an ideal subject of
old man P. T.'s philosophy.
The Ringling-Barnum management is at per
fect liberty to insult the intelligence and the
business integrity of the country newspaper fra
ternity which is capable of producing good will
and patronage for its shows.
But wfe predict that the country publishers will
treat its absurd proposition with all the nausea
they feel for the show's yearly disappointments to
the crowd—its peanuts, its painted lemonade
and its stale stunts, coupled with daub, din
i nd dust.
