OF THE
PERRYSBURG JOURNAL
COMMENCES
on THE 9Th DAY OF MAY NEXT
At which time we shall commence doing
strictly
PAY-IN-ADvANCE BUSINESS

The enormous and still increasing price of print
ing materials, together with the fact that probably
onc-fourth Of the subscribers to every country
paper; don't think themselves under rery many OBJ.
legations to pay their printers bills promptly, have
already convinced us that publishing newspaper
at 81 80 per year, credit, is very thankless
and Improbable undertaking. We are therefore
compelled TO adopt some means to save ourselves
from the loss we have heretofore incurred from
subscribers who don't pay-either to increase our
price, thus making paying men help bear our loss
by denquents, or to send paper only to those
who pay strictly in advance. Accordingly, as an
act of justice TO those who have always paid us
promptly, we have adopted the latter course, and
the close of Volume y will close our connection
with publishing a newspaper, on trust"
Volume NJ of the JOURNAL will commence on
the 9th day Of May next, at which time we shall
commence doing a strictly PAY-GS-ADyANcE bust
ness. After that time, no paper will be sent from
this office until paid for TO thoroughly carry out
this plan, we shall be compelled, after the 9th day
of May next, to DISCONTINUE THE PAPER TO ALL
WHO HAVE NOT PAID IN ADVANCE We SHALL per.
haps, be compelled for time to part company
with some subscribers in whose ability and inten
tion to pay we have the utmost cOnfidence-but ii
we do not strictly enforce the system, il will be
sytenl at all
The terms of subscription to the JOURNAL, after
the 9th Of May next-commencement of Volume
Nl-will be as follows-sTRIcTLY IN ADVANCE:
One copy, one year. ........., ........S1 81
One copy, four months .... ............ 81
Some of our subscribers may think this depart
ure from " ancient usage" hardly fair-but wha
would they think of the farmer who commenced
his seasons work next spring, paying cash for his
implements and labor, and letting thousand diff
ferent persons have one two dollars worth o
his harvest, unlimited credit ?-0r of the me
chanc. who employed workmen, and sent then
throughout the county, to work one dav in a place
for any one who wished, and never making any
requirement about the time of payment Or o
the merchant, who paid cash for his goods, ant
then sold them to any one who called, in amount.
from one dollar upward, and telling those who did
not offer to pay cash. "lts all right-take youl
own time for payment" Would they not say tina
every such man would almost certainly fail il
business, and even if he did manage to "livt
along" he dcserred failure?
Such the views which have induced us tC
adopt the odrdnce system. We ask for them
candid consideration at the hands of our patrons
and feel confident that all who intended to pay
their printers bill will agree with us in their cor
rectness, and in the necessity of adopting this
course.
We shall continue as heretofore, to receive al
kinds of farm produce on subscription, at the high
est market rates. but it must be delivered inrardl
m diCdncc.
All of our present subscribers who wish to con.
tinuc taking the JOURNAL after the close of tho
present volume, have ample time to send us, by
mail or otherwise, the amount they wish to pay
before the 9th of May next.
We shall continue our endeavers to publish a
paper well worth the subscription price to every
resident of Wood County The Endorsement which
we have already received from our patrons is truly
gratifying, and while we are compelled, in sell:
d,t,nsc, to change the terms of payment we trlls
that our present patrons will renew their favors
and aid us in extending the circulation of thu
Journal.
