RAISES SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

Nashville Tennesseean and American Explains Action. Nashville, Tenn., August B.—The subscription rates of the Nashville Tennesseean and American have been raised from 10 cents to 15 cents a week on account of the increase in the cost of materials, principally news print paper. The management, in giving the reason for its action, said: “When we sold seven issues a week for 10 cents the return on the investment was too small to allow any profit with prevailing high prices. We did not believe the advertiser should be called on to pay any more, but that readers should bear a larger part of the cost of making the Tennesseean and American.”
