SUBJECT: Advertising

Phony “Going Out of Business,” Closing Doors,” “Liquidation,” “Must Vacate Today,” or “Make Us an Offer” advertising is contrary to our standards here in Hillsboro. If deceptive, these ads are totally unacceptable.

If you have questions about any advertising you are asked to run, please clear the ad copy with me first. Let’s keep the reputation of our newspaper beyond reproach by screening ourselves rather than having our readers embarrass us by discovering less-than-honest deals advertised in our pages.

I also suggest you keep this notice as a permanent reminder when customers try “to slip one by you.”

Thanks,
