About Your Subscription Recently the Progress mailed out a form notice to all subscribers, who are in ariears. This state ment, showed the date of expira tion of the subscription and was intended as a reminder and not as a ' ‘dun” . We are trying to publish a 6rst class weekly paper and hope to con tinue improving. It is costing us tnote than $ i. per year to print, edit ai.d mail 52 issues of the Ptog- ress, but few papers or periodicals try to make a profit on their cir culation, as the income is derived from tne advertisers. The Progress today has a hne circulation throughout Kastern Clackamas County, with over 500 paid subscribers and it is fair to as sume that each paper is read by three to four memla-rs of a family, consequently the Progress covers its field well, but not as thorough ly as we hope to. We do not want to lose a single subscriber, but cannot afford to send the paper free. If vou re ceived a notice, showing vour sub scription to be behind, we trust that you will see your wav clear to pav up and renew. If, for anv reason you cannot pav at this time, if you will notify us, we will gladly continue the paper until such time as vou can afford to pay. The Portland papers and in fact a'l well cot ducted publications go hv this same rule, namely the sub scription is stopped at date of e x piration. Kindly advise us if vou want us to stop the paper but better still ad vise us to continue same, otherwise we cannot afford to. C. I. C. Dance The ladies of the Estacada C. I.
