On and After March First, Nineteen Hun

The Sun Will Be Two Dollars Per Year

Effective March s 1906, the subscription price this journal
will be Two Dollars per year.
This restoration of the subscription price of The Sun to the figure
at which originally put the result of simple mathematical cal
cuation About two months subscription price reduced
dollar year. This done because desired place the
peoples paper at popular price, that every this State
would feel that he could afford himself list which
tans the intelligent and vuous people living county
in Florida and in many localities in other States.
We fully expected to this popular price long the paper
lives but last week the foreman of composing woke
from the delicious dream having the good
doing with this popular price scheme by throwing figures
at US.
In these figures the cost of white paper the cost of ink the
amount paid for composition, presswork and mailing.
To these figures added the cost of special soe serials and
short humorous sketches running Then such items picture
making, engraving and editorial expense were added.
The grand total thus obtained divided by the number of copies
printed and became apparent that selling this journal for
less than It cost to produce It.
With this staring in the face something had to be DONE and
reviewing the situation there open to us
the quality of the publication thereby reducing the cost Of
production, or
