Please give directions as to how you want your ad to look, i.e., feminine, conservative, festive, etc. If a requested typeface cannot be duplicated, a computer typeface will be substituted that matches as close as possible.

There is no additional charge for placing your line art and logos in ads. Please note that Artwork, Logos, etc. that are not submitted in a "sharp" or "clear" format cannot be clearly reproduced.

Please send the original photograph for advertisements.  No p.m.t., re-screens, or color copies. Photo clarity can not be reproduced without the original photograph.

If advertisers wish to have photographs returned, they must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with their ad.
