CASH IN ADVANCE!

The War Industries Board
has placed newspapers in a
preferred class to receive ma
terials necessary to ther produc-
tion, provided the newspapers
conform to certain require
ments. One of these require
ments limits us to sending THE
ROBESONIAN only to those
who keep their subscription
paid in advance. The War In
dustries Board will not permit
those from whom we buy pa
per and other materials neces-
sary to produce THE ROBE
SONlAN to furnish us these
materials unless we comply
with the provisions of the g
der of the board. So our suo-
scribers can readily see why
We must obey the orders Of
the War Industries Board.
The last copy of The Robe
sonian any subscriber will re-
ceive unless and until his sub
scription is paid in advance will
be MONDAY, SEPTEMBER
80. If you get your paper
through the mails DO NOT
wait for a statement. The
RobesOnian's force is kept SO
busy getting out the paper that
there is scant time for sending
out statements. On every
paper sent through the mails
..ere is a printed label that
will enable each subscriber to
know how his subscription
stands, the date on each label
showing the date to which the
subscription is paid. Look at
the label on your paper. If it
shows that your subscription is
not paid beyond October, 1918,
please attend to the matter at
once. To those who receive
their paper by The Robson
. ian's own carriers a notice win
be mailed, as there is no label
on these papers by which the
subscriber may know how he
stands.
We hope every one of The
RObesonian's subscribers will
get her or his subscription in
shape-paid up and in advance.
before October 1. We do not
want to lose or cut off single
one, but we cannot take any
chances of having ourselves
cut off from materials necessary
to issue The RobesOnian. What
ever the Government asks of
us we are going to do.
We are not going to set the
time ahead to which you must
pay your subscription. All we
are concerned about is that it
be kept paid in advance. On
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, we
will print just enough papers
to supply subscribers who have
paid in advance of that date.
Each issue after October / we
will print just enough papers
to supply those whose subscrip-
tions are paid in advance of
the date of the paper on the
day it is printed.
Those of The Robesonian's
subscribers who are not paid in
advance are just as good as
gold. We have shown our faith
n them by sending them the pa
per. But we are under differ
ent conditions now. Whatever
the War Industries Board says
goes. We are going to comply
with its requirements and we
will appreciate a prompt and
loyal response from all sub
scribers. Keep the matter in
mind, watch the label on your
paper, and do not let your sub
scription get behind after
