After get- ing about $90 and having one blot- ter printed, so that he could collect the advertising money, the man lett the city. The minister plans to pay the unpaid bill. The Town Criers bulletin says: “How much of your advertising pure blackmail? How much of it have you bocght during the last year, not for its advertising value, but be- cause the request to byy came nn local people promoting’a local enters| prise, ‘or outside people who showed you the names of prominent me chants—possibly your competitors and by this means induced you to buy what you believed to be, worth- less-—in other words, purely. black- mail. “The outstanding purpose of the Town Criers is to serve the city 9° Bismarck in two respects: 1.
