A GOOD MANY SUBSCRIBERS HAVE RENEWED THEIR SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR 1933—HAVE YOU? The News -Record subscription has been reduced twenty-five percent. for 1983, while the quality of the paper has been in no way reduced. We are spending just as much on it as when it was at the higher price; the reduction was not justified by any reduction in costs, so far as the materials and services which make up a news- paper was concerned, but was made simply as a concession to the re- duced incomes of subscribers. It will be remembered, perhaps, that while prices of other commodities went up and up, newspaper sub- scriptions and advertising prices remained the same. Other sources of income upon which newspapers also depend, such as advertising, has also fallen off considerably, so that the in- come of the publisher is reduced quite as much, or more than that, of anyone else. Newspapers, generally, are all suffering the sense way but, be- lieving that a turn will come, we are endeavoring to maintain our service to the public at the same high level as formerly, absorbing the losses ourselves, so that when the upward turn does come we will not have a service reduced in quality, but will be carrying on, just as usual. But the circumstances stated above make it imperative that sub- scriptions be paid promptly. If your Sub. is Not Paid for 1933 Kindly See That It is Sent in to us as Soon As Possible.
