An increase of 20 cents par
month on the price of carrier-
delivered subscriptions of the
Brownwood Bulletin was an-
nounced today by circulation
manager, Thell Prueitt.
The increase will be effective
May 1 and will coat subscribers •
less than one cent per edition.
Prueitt said a portion of the l
increase will be shared with The
Bulletin's carrier salesmen. He g
also announced that newsstand I
price of the newspaper on I
Sunday will be increased to 25 I
cents per copy
Steadily rising costs of |
newsprint, with additional I
increases expected shortly, was i
one of the major reasons which g
caused the subscription, Prueitt I
said. I
In addition, the cost of I
newspaper ink and other I
printing supplies used in f
newspaper production have I
risen rapidly in recent months. I
Steadily increasing personnel j
costs in all departments of the .
newspaper were also a factor, I
he said.
