Common sizes of ads are full page, half page, quarter page and eighth page. However, any ad between five columns and 15 inches is welcome. Any ad more than 11 inches deep will be charged as a full page ad. Display ads must be at least two column inches wide. Ads will be accepted in half-inch increments.
