$500 AFTER JANUARY 1, 1913

Owing to the excessive i'm
crease in every item connected
with the publication of q news
paper, the subscription price of
THE LEON REPORTER will be
advanced to $500 per year, on
and after January 1, 1913. We
have tried in every conceivable
way to avoid increasing the SUBJ
scription price of The Reporter,
but we cannot make ends meet
at the old price of $1.5O per
year. Practically all of the daily
papers have doubled their SUBJ
scriptiOn price, and while we
are making an increase of so
cents per year, this increase will
not come anywhere near meet
ing the added expenses of the
business, and we do not believe
that our readers want or expect
us to lose money in publishing
The Reporter. We are going to
give all subscribers the oppOr
tunity of renewing at the old rate
of $1.5O per year, at any time
before the first of the new year,
and you can renew for any per-
iod not exceeding two years from
Jan. 1, 1913, at the 81. 80 rate.
But please remember that the
$500 rate goes into effect on
Jan. 1st, and ON and after that
date, the price will be- $500 to
everyone. Renew your paper
before Jan. 1St, and please don't
ask us to accept the old rate Of
$1.5O a year after that date, for
we will have to refuse it. The
Reporter is worth every cent Of
$500 a year, compared with the
price of everything else, and you
will save so cents a year by re-
newing now, but we are not go
ing to urge anyone to renew at
the old rate. 1t is up to yOu
whether you want to save the
so cents a year.
