Ads ‘n’ Ends From the Boston Dailies (Remembering Michael Ryan Kennedy Edition)

There’s lots of interesting advertising material in today’s local dailies, starting with the Boston Globe’s Capital section. Usually the papers’s weekly political playground capitalizes on its cherce readership with a bundle of full-page ads, but in today’s edition what’s more interesting are the pieces about advertising.

Charlie Baker, Martha Coakley, Seth Moulton, and Jeanne Shaheen also get the red-pen treatment.

By far the most noteworthy ad in today’s Herald is this:

 

 

Rest in peace, Firefighter Michael Ryan Kennedy.
