The Record S1.50

The Penns Grove Record will be
$3.50 a year, beginning January 1st.
The increased cost of labor, material
and postage necessitates charging
more for that which costs more The
increased price which Our readers re-
ceive for their labor and products o.
labor viii more than pay the extra
cost. d,
A year ago the price was increased
from 81 to SIPS a year. The increase
of another IS cents make a 80 per
cent. increase, while the dollar recelv-
ed in former years would buy more
than the $3.50 viii now. It is to be
e that the weekly newspapers are
not getting their just dues Of the pros
perity from the readers.
During tkc Civil Wa wages were
not 50 high, Q was pork and many
other products. Then weekly news
papers were 50 q Year and for fifteen
years after in Salem County. Some
publishers in Burlington and other
counties have neve reduced their
price below 81 i gear and five cents a
single copy.
All payments which extend beyond
January 1st will be continued until
the expiration. All who desire to pay
$1.25 before January list can have
their subscription extended for as
many years as paid for.

A New Era

We have entered q New Era, the
greatest in the worlds history, not
only in the world but in the Nation,
State, County and Municipality. With
this issue the Penns Grove Record will
begin a new era by being all home
print to meet the needs for news and
advertisers.
When We bought the Record in 1884
it was half the present size. In a
month it was increased to S-columns
with four pages and a new hand press
bought on which to print it. In 1886
a cylinder press was bought and turn
ed by hand power for fifteen years.
Gasoline and gas power was utilized
thereafter.
To meet needs for more news and
advertising the Record was enlarged
to the present size in August, 1915.
Since then we have left out news and
advertising to the regrets of those
concerned and the publisher.
Like many other business men it
has been a p~erpleXity to decide and
get practically a new newspaper and
job printing plant installed for more
than a year. The delays in getting
material, laborers and especially ma

If 1 had forty pupils to educate I would send them all to Tyler 1 feel sure that no one would make a mistake in sending his girl or boy to such school. God has not given me sufficient language to express my feelings towards the T. |. C. and it's great faculty for what they have done for my girl.
