Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 March 1908 — LAST CALL. [ARTICLE]

LAST CALL.

The recent ruling of the poetoffice department which prohibits publishers from sending papers to subscribers except the subscription is paid in advance, is to go into effect April Ist. It was to go Jnto effect Jan. Ist, but the notice given publishers was so short that the department was swamped with requests from them to give three months time in whlcli to get their lists collected up, and the time was extended to April 1, 1908. The Democrat started out at the first notice of this ruling and wrote mpst of its delinquents a circular letter setting out the ruling and requesting settlement, ; The returns from this course were excellent and our list is in good shape.. There are, however, a few who have failed to respond, and now we must cut them from the list unless a settlement is made within a very few days. We dislike to deprive anyone of The Democrat who wants the paper, but as the subscrijrtlon is only SI.OO per year there is certainly little excuse for their being delinquent.. The ruling of the Postoffice Department is one that must be obeyed, and it puts all papers on an equal footing. We believe it is a good thing, both for the subscriber and the Publisher, and on our part we shall try to observe the order. Therefore, if you want The Democrat to continue to your address in the future, consult the date on the label after your name, which shows the date which you are paid to, and if your subscription expires prior to lAprilß (April 1, 1908) you must renew at once or we shall be compelled to discontinue sending the paper to your address. Kindly give this matter your Immediate attention, and oblige. truly, THE DEMOCRAT.
