The Fort Worth Star Telegram does not want our money

Posted By Mike Orren in Square Pegs on October 3, 2007

Just got a call from the FWST refusing to run an ad I placed in their garage sale section to advertise our garage sale map.

Their prerogative. But I didn't know they were doing so well they could turn down our couple hundred bucks. If they want to advertise their garage sale section on our garage sale map, I'll happily sell them the space.

That's what I did. Then they called me to tell me that they wouldn't take the ad.

Oh, well I thought it'd be in a fixed location, i.e. the spot on the left titled "Advertising".

Carry on.
