Notes:
Local rates are commissionable, ads must be supplied in one of the file formats specified above and adhere to published
submission guidelines. Publisher assumes no responsibility for poor quality artwork or any printed materials
furnished by advertiser. Advertising cancelled after reservation deadline will be billed at 50%. Advertising simulating
news must be noted as “paid advertisement” and must be set in a distinctively different typeface than The CSBJ newspaper.
Rates on this card are for run-of-paper position. Guaranteed paid position, if available, will be charged an extra
30% of the cost of the advertisement. In the event of errors by The CSBJ that materially affect the value of the advertisement,
The CSBJ will reprint the part of the advertisement that was incorrect when notified within one week after
publication. The CSBJ will be responsible only for the space occupied by the error.
