of hi: or her paper. The Ledger has been published continuously for nearly
fifty years and the Blade for over thirty years. There are few publica-p
tions in the United States as well known to nearly everybody in this country
as these two family publications. It is perfectly natural that I should tell
our troubles to our readers. To whom else can I tell them?
Six years ago we were buying paper for $1.70 per ioo pounds at the
mill. Today we are paying $7.00 per roo pounds and glad to get it at that.
Five years ago we were paying I cent a pound for postage; today we are
paying over 3 cents a pound. During the last four years our pay roll has
increased 150%.‘ During the last three years we have doubled the price
of our subscriptions, but added 33% to the sizes of our papers. This is equal
to only 50% increase in the price to our readers. lVe have no intention 0C
increasing the price to our readers or cutting the sizes of our
will keep in the game just as long as we can stand it.
During the last four years 4,000 newspapers and periodicals in the
p United States have gone out of business, yet the price of paper has kept
' going up because pulp'wood, from which paper is made, is growing scztrcer
, and what is left is farther away from the mills and hard to get out..
I feel it is fitting at this time, wliencvery other person in this country
seems to be having trouble of his own, that we should mention ours. This
is a confidential matter and I hope you will not speak to anybody about it.
