This year we are spending about ten million dollars to extend our system to accommodate new subscribers. Year by year we must spend millions so that people requiring telephone service may be accommodated! Such huge sums of course cannot be provided out of our revenue. The only way of obtaining money in such amounts to from in-' vestors seeking profitable emp%yment for kite funds. ' 4 Investors naturally won't put their money into any enterprise that does not promise absolute security and a sure return. Now adays security and a handsome return on investments are not difficult to find! Our problem then is, in spite of the high cost of everything we buy in both labor and material, to pay such a return to present investors -our shareholders --as will attract new money. TM* must be accomplished while, at the same tinge, keeping lour service up`to the higheststandard. If Me rate of return fe not attractive, then the supply of new money ceases. This is the problem of telephone companies everywhere. None of them has found any other solution than to charge a fair and adequate'rate to subscribers. • THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA Dor Subscribers Can Assist Agaiest Againstthe tDi h Cost EWSPAPER readersare familiar with the fact that very great increases have taken place in the cost of paper during the past three and a half years, and that the publishers of news- papers in Canada and throughout the world have been obliged, in consequence, to increase their subscription prices. During the past four year's of increast; the cost of newsprint, The New Era has raised its subscription price once from $1.00 a year to $1.50 and the extra money went into the high cost of newsprint; The New Era n the good old'days was buy- ing paper at 2% cents per lb, freight paid, and it has increased up to 41/2c, 5c, and even to d cents and freight to pay. Today letters from the paper mills state that paper will be 8c and maybe more ---no guarantee as to price- -will be charged, so that our subscribers can see what the newspapers today are up against. past year or so and we make this proposition NOW. yV, All subscribers in the United States will have the opportunity of paying up at the rate of $2.00 a year all back debts by August 31st and on the 1st of September all owing then, their names and amounts will be handed to a Collecting Agency, at the rate o>i $2.50 a year. All Canadian Subscribers will be given the same opportunity of paying back debts up to August 31st at $1.50 and on September 1st all owing us then—the amount will be handed to the Clerk of the Division Court at Clinton to collect with all costs added. With the past accounts paid up in full The New, Era may be able to still keep the subseri.. lotion price down until the high costs right themselves. 1 '` t : 'da it ;l1 31 For these reasons we ask an our subscri- isers to help ua in paying up all back indebted• nese. 1. NOTE—When accounts are placed iia the Collector's hands The New Era will not accept payment at old rates and this trate wilt he adhered too, spairreamen 2 1
