A publication which is distributed or made available primarily for advertising purposes to the public generally without consideration being paid therefor shall not be deemed to be a “newspaper” for the purpose of publication or advertisement of such notice required by law.

The term “business day” when used herein does not include Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays.
