Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 March 1908 — TIME IS DRAWING NEAR [ARTICLE]

TIME IS DRAWING NEAR

The postoffice department has taken a hand in the regulation of the newspaper credit system and by its provisions the newspaper can extend but limited credit to its subscription patrons without placing a postage stamp on the paper. Thus, the publishers of papers have but one alternative when a paper is not paid in advance >9ffcApril i st, and that is to stop the paper. There are several hundreds of dollars due in small delinquencies for the Republican, and we can not afford to lose them, so we are having statement slips prepared and will mail them to those who owe and if the accounts are not.paid within a reasonable time we will either give the account to local or "special collectors and endeavor to collect the amounts due. If it is absolutely impossible- for you to pay what you owe please write us to that effect and we will hold your accounts ar this office for a reasonable time. We dislike to be placed in a position where we can not send the Republican to any person who wants it and promises to pay some time soon, but we are helpless. You will greatly accommodate usffyou will look at the date on your paper or the paper wrapper and then remit enough to pay it to some advanced date and then'keep it paid in advance. Don’t wait to be notified but take care of this right away. Make money orders, checks, drafts or express orders payable to THE REPUBLICAN. Don’t put this off.
