All Sensible Farmers Insist' Upon "GOLD MEDAL" Harvest Tools rdware Stores We heard a man s "Let the Telephone Company use the profits they made inprosperous years, if they need money to build more plant." Y' That's exactly what we have done! Shareholders of the Bell Telephone Company of Canada have been paid only a moderate return on the par value of their stook —no morel We have made no distributions of bonus stock, no 'melons' have ever been cut; no distribution ever been made of surplus earnings!! Every share of stock has brought us its par value; or better, p For forty years we have consistently used all. surplus earnings; all idle reserves to buy more telephone plant. Every dollar has gone back into the business to extend it and serve new subscribers. What has this policy meant to the public? The Board of Railway Commissioner's at our last rate investiga-' tion found that if we had not pursued this honorable course of turning all surplus earnings back into the business we would have had to provide in the year 1918 alone an additional $908,000 out of revenue to pay interest on the plant so secured. This, of course, would have meant higher rates to.subscribers. The fact is, we need millions of ,new money just because out funds have always been at work, Beeping down our bond and stock issues, and ensuring 16w rates to our subscribers! THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA - Caster rev Our Subscribers Can Assist Aaheo ig Cast EWSPAPER readers are familial, 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 increase in 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 21/2 cents per lb, freight paid, and it has increased up to 41/ac, 5c, and even to 6 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. We have many subscribers owing us for the past year or so and we make this proposition NOW. i5'` .i a 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 of $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 accour..s paid up in full The New Era may be able to still keep the subscri- ption price down until the high costs sn�,right themselves. t,..,me szt ".
