1ri.WeckIy Courier
Will Go TO Cash
In Advance Basis
Date on
Label on Paper
Do Not Let Your
Subscription Expire:

More than a year ago the circula
ton of the Ottumwa Daily Courier
was put on cash in advance basis
! 1t has been found to be very satlslac
| tory to both the subscribers and the
| publisher.
For years it had been the general
custom of the country for publishers
to send a paper till the subscriber
| sent written order to the office to
stop it. Some publishers would hard
| ly stop paper even when told to 40
so by letter, but there are not many
of that kind left now.
About ninety per cent OF the sub
scription list of the Ottumwa sTri-
Weekly Courier is now paid In adj
vance, and it Is evident from many OF
the letters we receive from sub
scribers. that they prefer to pay for
all their papers in that way and then
have the papers stop unless the sub
scriber sends in the money to pay for
it.
Almost everyone prefers the adj.
vance payment, then they are not
paying for any dead horse" and they
do not have to worry for fear bill
will be run up on them.
Hundreds of people prefer the Daily
Courier to any other daily, and one OF
the reasons they give is that 1t stops
when the time is out, then when want
it started again l send in the money
to pay for it, and I'm never owing any
thing for my paper"
The government postal department
has made ruling that a subscriber to
a tri-weekly publication who Is more
than six months in arrears Is not en-
titled to receive the said paper and
that the publisher must not send such
paper for a term longer than six
months without pay.
The publishers of the Tri-Weekly
Courier have tried to live up to the
six months term allowed, by the gov
eminent, but find that in spite of the
closest watching, there will be few
names get past the six months limit.
This makes it unfair for both the sub
scriber and publisher, and 1t has been
decided to put the circulation OF the
Tri-Weekly Courier on the same basis
Of all the larger daily papers of the
state-that is on cash in advance
basis-this pleases the subscriber be-
cause he is not being continuously
called upon to pay up back bills. He
pays when he starts the paper and
then the publisher notifies him just
before his subscription expires. and ii
he wants the paper continued, he
sends in another payment But If the
subscriber does not want the paper
continued, he does not have to write
to the office to have, 1t stopped because
it will be stopped anyway unless 1t is
paid for.
So we want our subscribers to con-
tinue taking the paper, because we
know they get a better paper than any
one else can give them for the money
better markets, better editorials,
better continued stories, better local
news. better baseball and sporting
news-and we ask that If your sub
scription Is not paid in advance, please
send to the Courier, Ottumwa, Iowa,
an amount sufficient to pay your sub
scription ahead. Look at the date on
the label on your paper, and 1t will tell
you when your subscription expires.
Please attend to this at once.
