To Our PatrOns--ImpOrIaIfi
Notice.

Beginning with January LIST, 1899,
the subscription price of the RIG
IsrER viii be increased to s1.5O a
year, in advance. We are driven
to thus raise the price of our paper
becau g paper, ink, type and every
thing that enters into the makeup
ct paper has been advanced from
Is to % per cent. To continue to
publish the REGISTER ut 81 year
would be entailing loss upon our
self that would in very short time
bankrupt the paper, and finally
cause its suspension altogether
Business is business, and the print
ing business like that of any other,
must be conducted upon business
principles. We can't control the
markets. and if prices are put up
on printers stock, why printers
must advance their prices, as well
as other business men do, when
their goods advance: aud make cor
responding reduction in prices, as
goods decline in price.
To ali subscribers who are now
in arrears, and all who may desire
to become subscribers, we say to
them that they ehn pay up and re-
new. or new subscribers may have
the paper at the present price of 81
year, at amy time between now
and january tie lst next. After
that date 81 Will be the only
price. and no club rates will be al
lowed.
We know that some Of oar sub
seribers will object to this increase
of price but we want to say plainly
10 them, that il they do not wish to
continue the paper, they can say SO,
aud pay up what they may owe
and stop their paper. All who do
not SO notify US before January LIST,
1889, vii! be considered as desiring
TO take the paper, and will be charg
I'd the $3.50 after that date.
Subscribers now in arrears, not
paving up between this and the last
of December. 1888, will be charged
after that date, at the rate of s1.5O
Il year.
We hope this notice is plain
enough to be understood, and that
no subscriber will be so unreason-
able as to expect or demand that
We shall publish the REGISTER at a
loss, and that all of them will take
business view of the matter, and
continue as subscribers to the REC
;sTER
