NOTICE OF ADVANCE IN SUPSCRIPTION PRICE

Begining next Monday, February 2, the .subscription rate of the Evening Republican will be raised to 15 cents per week, $7.50 per year when paid -in advance. The rate to rural route subscribers will be $5 per year. Single copies will sell for 3 cents each. This step is made necessary by the constantly increasing cost of doing business. At the present rate it costs all the revenue from subscriptions to pay the cost of the blank paper and the cost of delivery, leaving nothing for the cost of gathering the news, 1 putting it in type, press work and the numerous other items entering into the cost of publishing the paper. The price of print paper is now nearly four times what it was before the war and wages and all materials entering into the cost of producing a paper have increased about in proportion. Nearly all papers ■have raised in price but The . Republican until now has avoided taking this step in hopes that conditions would get back to normal. This raise will be small to each subscriber, but Tyill help the publishers materially in. meeting the advanced cost ,of <ioing business. The faithful carrier boys will share in a portion of the increased revenue derived from the advance in subscription.
