"Editor Danbury Reporter:
Enclosed find §2. 00 to p:tv up my sub
scription to January 1, 1946.
"1 have been taking 1 the Rencrtov f-v
more than 30 yea,,. I amYftnin.
1 ol: . P lm t some mighty r> a n jf
against the Republicans every once and
awhile, but J notice you also hit the Dem-
SEE? oft S" too i ? nd 1 think need
hitting'. Your friend- Roosevelt won't
make it again. He ought to been beat
out 3 years ago. He is trying to be a
dictator of this nation.
"I enjoy your editorials, as mean as
they are, though I will admit I think you
are a good writer and try to be fair. I
take your paper to see what you are go
ing to say.
"Yours truly,
« tf
The Reporter really appreciates the
above letter. We withhold tV.c- name as
the writer did not give us per mi •sion to
print it. He is a Eenublie .r. r.ncl a
did fellow whose friend >we valu-i
and whose patronage we . : Yvecint?.
The Reporter has a large number of
Republican friends and subscribers in
the county, and personally they are
valued just as highly as our Democratic
friends.
We do not expect people to agree with
everything we write. It is best for the
country that should be different
opinions about the various questions
and problems and issues before the peo
ple. It is a healthy sign. It is democra
tic. It means that freedom for which we
are fighting is working.
During the late campaign which we
put on preparatory to the increase in
price of the Reporter, we have had many
letters from our friends, some of them
beautiful in sentiment and apprecia
tion, some of them critical and caustic.
In general the response to our changed
policy of $2.00 a year and cash in ad
vance has been very gratifying, and we
are very grateful.
$l.OO Rate Extented for Thirty Days
On account of the misunderstanding- of
quite a number of our subscribers on
their renewals, we have extended for 30
davs to January 1, 1944, the time dnvino
which the Reporter may be had at s*.oo
per year.
It had been planned to raise the price
to $2.00 on December 1, 1943.
Now the price of $l.OO per year will be
in effect until January 1, 1944, at which
time no further extension can be grant
ed.
If you want the paper at $l.OO per year
even up for as much as 3 years to Dec. 1,
1946, subscribe not later than January
.1, 1944.
If you wish your present subscription
extended at the rate of $l.OO a year, you
can do so for as far ahead as December
1, 1946, if you pay before Jan. 1, 1944.
The raise in price to take effect Jan. 1,
1944, is made necessary owing- to the
greatly increased cost of publication.
Thank You
