Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 June 1916 — $2.00 PER YEAR AFTER SEPT. 1 [ARTICLE]

$2.00 PER YEAR AFTER SEPT. 1

New Subscriptions and Renewals Taken at $1.50 Per Year Until Above Date. Please bear in mind that, as lately announced, the subscription price of The Democrat will be raised on September 1 to $2 per year, this move having become absolutely necessary because of the tremendous increase in cost of print paper and all material entering into the making 'of a newspaper. Practically all of the weekly papers have advanced their price to $1.50 per year, and as the twice-a-week paper gives nearly double as much for the money as the once-a-week issue, it should certainly bring at least 50 cents more than a weekly paper. The Rensselaer Republican has also announced that its subscription rate wil be increased to $2 on September 1. All new subscriptions and renewals received by The Democrat prior to September 1 will be taken at the old rate of $1.50 per year. This offer should be taken advantage of by hundreds of people before the new rate goes into effect. The necessity for increasing the subscription price is brought about by matters wholly beyond our control and the time for making the necessary increase has been put off really longer than it should have been. Come in and subscribe or renew for another year before September 1 when the new rate goes into effect.
