Newspaper postal hike prompts subscription plea
The Messenger urges readers to subscribe now at current rates to shield against a potential 75 percent postal increase on newspapers. It notes current rates are four times prewar levels and promises unchanged quality if paid promptly, with a longer term price rise likely if Congress approves the measure. It offers $4.50 a year for daily and Sunday mail delivery in Ohio and guarantees acceptance of current rates until the new rate becomes official.
