delivery date.
 
[Q] How can I find out more about job opportunities with the Shopping News?

our entire corporation, Woodward Communications, Inc.

be provided prior to publication.

to promote job openings. Your ad will appear in our "Help Wanted"

[A] Many businesses submit their ad copy camera-ready. There is no
discount extended as our column inch rate is based on the space, not
how that space is used.

[A] The Shopping News offers agreements whereby your column inch rate
can be reduced. You simply sign an agreement based on your planned
advertising investment for the upcoming year.

plans. For various reasons, an advertiser may elect to zone certain
communities out of their coverage plan.

[A] A business-card sized ad would measure 2 columns (3 3/8" wide) by
2 inches deep for a total of four column inches. The per column inch
rate is $6.75 so your investment would be $27.00($6.75 per inch @
4") per week.
