The enterprise Publishing Company has been fortunate enough to increase its supply of newsprint to care for just about one hundred new sub scribers for 1948. The 190 new subscriptions are offered to the first applicants. Pos sibly a friend or relative in another county or state or one right here at home would en joy a gift subscription, a gift lasting all-year around. No special price is offered by the publishers who are taking a beating ip trying to hs>k! sub scription prices where they have been since before the war, and no guarantee can be made that all subscription ap plications can be handled.
