The Clinton News Record, 1917-11-08, Page 8Your Weekly Newspaper PERHAPS you haven't been thinking much about it --jest taking for greeted that $1.00 a year is a right price for The News -Recons, year after year, let other things cost what they rimy, But you are a reasonable being, :Dui so can see that the price ,of a weekly newspaper should no more remain "fixed" year after year than the prices of 80011 common things as Beefsteak 'Wheat Motor pare Sugar Eggs Lumber Coal Potatoes Horses 2inots Clover Seed Land CAN you thi,ek of any other commodity except newspapers and Choir like whose price has remained unchanged and unchanging year after aa'r sooam for- ever the same—sane,foexample, as you could buy a cord of wood for $1.50 a bushel of wheat for 50 cents Fu common fowl for 25 cents a dozen of eggs for 10 cents a pound of butter for 12 cents a cow for $25 THE war has brought to a crisis a condition of things which has vexed publishers for years: the selling -price of their newspaper. It has sent prices of paper, ink, type and supplies skyward, it is cost- ing us many more dollars a week now to produce The News.liecord than before the outbeeak of war. Where do we get off at?—in the slang language of today. The answer is : we must get more for The News -Record. And so on and after January 15th the subscription price of The News -Record will bo $L50. You are reasonable, and so we count on you to meet the necessities of the situation cheerfully. Three cents a week for your local newspaper— it is worth the price, is it not ? Less than the 'price of a "Smoke."• Every.
