Advance Pay for Newspapers A Farmer Letter to Pomeroy’s Democrat
A 1875 Letter from Menpora Illinois argues for prepaid subscriptions to Pomeroy’s Democrat. The editor explains why advance cash is needed, cites broad subscriber credit, and likens unpaid accounts to a burden on editorial work. The piece contrasts this with Dr. Eldridge of Elmira who prepaid five years, praising foresight and support from readers. It then adds a Pall Mall Gazette note on German emigration driven by war, religion, and economic factors.
