NEW YORK HERALD is NOW A
ONE-CENT PAPER

The New York Herald now sells
for l cent. For years the price has
been cents. The Herald clung to
it's three-cent price after every other
morning newspaper in the city was
selling for one cent. The paper was
established by James Gordon Ben
nett, father of the present proprietor,
as one-cent paper. In May. 1895.
when thefirst number of the New
York Herald, then a pigmy compared
with it's present size, was put on safe,
cent was the price.
AS the size of the paper increased
and expenses mounted, the price was
raised. Coming, as it does, at a time
when newspaper expenses, both in
the getting of news and the physical
cost. are high. Mr.. Benefits decision
to reduce the price is taken as an
indication that the day of the three
cent morning paper is past. The on
ly morning publications now selling
for price in excess of l cent are
business and sporting papers.
Mr.. Bennett, whose sudden trips
from Europe to New York have on
many previaus occasions forecast
radical changes in the policy Of his
paper, arrived on July "a, on the La
fayotte from Bordeaux. His inten-
tion is to remain only until early au-
tumn.

York paper to take the action the

ates the party nominee for office,
