TO AMERICAN SUBSCRIBERS
Owing to the tremendous in-
crease in the cost of producing a
weekly newspaper The New Era
is desirous of having all subscrip-
tions paid in advance. This ap-
plies especially to subscriptions in
the United States, which necessi-
tate a weekly cash outlay for
postage and but a few delinquents
take all the profit.. The great ma-
jority of our American readers
have already renewed and we
thank. thein heartily for their
promptness. If you have not re-
newed for 1918, remit to -day by
postal or express order. The
label on your New Era tells the
date to which it is paid. The
subscription price is now $2.00 a
year.
