THE CASH IN ADVANCE BASIS.
The following excellent article is
taken from the American Press a
professional journal for publishers:
“Cash in advance!”
This is the stand which country
newspapers are taking with growing
frequency and which is one of the
great factors working for the advance-
ment of the business affairs of these
papers.
That this stand is justified can be
proved in any number of ways, To be-
gin with, it must be remembered
that the publisher is under a constant
| financial strain. He must not, he can-
I not miss a single issue, whether these
costs a certain sum to produce. This
cost is borne primarily by the adver-
tisers and in the second place by
the subscribers. Custom has decreed
that the advertiser pay after publica-
tion, which is as it should be. But cus-
tom has also decreed that newspaper
subscribers pay in advance. This cus-
tom is found in every country. The
trouble is that it is not always lived
up to. This is particularly true of
our own country and in a great ma-
jority of cases the publisher is to
blame.
Subscribers will pay in advance
when they are taught that the paper
cannot be had otherwise. They need
the newspaper and they want it. Ev-
ery publisher can enforce the rule by
simply announcing that those who do
not pay in advance will be cut off the
subscription list . This is done by the
most prosperous papers in the land.
Receiving payment for subscriptions
in advance puts into the publishers
hand a certain amount of cash which
he can use as a working basis for the
further production of his paper. His
materials must be paid for, often

The property of A. E. Hiteshew in

to use a paper which can show a paid '

Pan-American proposal undoubtedly
will be to that effect, and to it will
be appended an argument that his
government is entitled to recognition.
It will then be incumbent on th:
Pan-American conference to take the
second step in its campaign to lif

second step will be an embargo ir
