How to Kill a Newspaper and
Yourself.
A Western paper gives the
^ following reeeip- lor killing your
paper, your business and your
luwn aiong \vi J lilt.
Just let the subscriptionjgo.
It's only a dollar or two?the
publisher don't need it.
If lie asks for it ?ol as mad as
you can and stop t lie paper?
you never need it anyhow. Then
vo and borrow your neighbor's.

be busy. Make him feel as if he
were intruding. When the advertising
and job man comes,
tell hitn that it doesn't pay you
to advertise, everybody knows
you, and that you will try to
get along without any printed
stationary, it is too expensive
and you must economize.
Never drop in to see the editor
unless you want a free complimentary
notice or lengthy obituary
for a beloved relative.
Never recommend the paper
to anybody. When you speak
of it, "Yes, we have a little
sheet, but it doesn't amount to
much."
Keep this up lor a year or two
and you will have a dead newspaper,
a dead set of merchants,
and a dead town.
