Plain-English Summary
Section 75 addresses newspapers that print one side of the page away from their own office of publication — called "patent outsides" or "patent insides" — and fill the other side with local content. A notice published in one of these papers counts exactly as though it ran in a newspaper printed wholly in the county where the law requires publication, as long as one side of the paper is printed in that county.
The rule keeps legal notices valid in newspapers built this way, so a publisher doesn't lose the ability to run required notices just because part of the paper came from an outside printer.
