Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 67, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 November 1916 — ADVANCE SUBSCRIPTION RATES [ARTICLE]

ADVANCE SUBSCRIPTION RATES

The Benton Review, the Democratic organ of Benton county, has been publishing a twelve-page weekly for the past several years at 11.50 .per year. It now announces that owing to the huge boost in price of print paper it will either go bavk to eight pages or advance the price to 12 per year. The Wheatfield Review also announces that it will advance subscription rates from $1 to ft. 50 per -year. Both the above papers are printed but once a week, and practically every weekly paper in the country that was not already charging $1.50 per year have been forced in selfdefense to advance rates during the past year. Yet there is occasionally a man who objects to paying $2 per year for The Democrat, which comes out twice a week and each issue contains from four to eight pages all home print; because they can get a “patent insides” paper once a week for $1.50!
