The Cheapest Thing In The Modern World The publisher of an important Canadian daily newspaper has said in his news- paper this: The newspaper is about the cheapest thing in the modern world for its value. 1f nothing else were considered save the usefulness of the advertisements and the market prices, to the average home, a dollar spent in newspapers must mean the saving of many dollars in a home. it is not necessary to argue the value to you of your home newspaper. But we ask this of you: isn't three cents a week little enough for b The New Era, which gathers for you all the good news of Huron? No city daily can do what The New Era is doing for and in this county. It does not give you with desired full- ness the news of the surrounding townships and adjacent villages. It does not tell you wha local merchants have to offer. Localrnews and happenings are told only sufficiently in a local newspaper. The price of The New Era becomes $150 on and after the f 5th of January; 1917. The increase of 50 cents a year is made necessary by rising costs in every direction -paper, ink, type, wages, cost of living, and other things. What we are concerned about is that you value your weekly newspaper to continue aS a subscriber at the higher rate. Three brown coppers a week! You cannot say that you cannot afford them. They are the price of a postage stamp, half the price of a "smoke" the money you would give it child to buy candy with, the price of a pair of laces,' Be Loyal To Yottr Local Weekly !
