Legality of Sunday Advertising
That advertising in the Sunday editions of newspapers is not collectable, is the decision recently made by Judge J. M. Johnson, of the Kansas City court of appeals. A business man contracted for advertising in the columns of the St. Louis Republic. When he avoided payment for the advertisements that had been run, the newspaper brought suit. According to System for January, Judge Johnson decided that the contract was “against public morals and public policy” because it called for advertising printed on Sundays. The judge declared that such contracts for work done in violation of the Sunday laws could not, therefore, be enforced.
