M HIE SAME TIME WE DO NOT WANT TO IN-
CREASE OUR SUBSCRIP HON RATE AND IF YOU WILL
GIVE US YOUR ASSISTANCE IT WILL NOT BE NECES-
SARY TO DO SO.
If our subscribers will help us in the next two weeks by getting
just five new subscribers to the CHRONICLE, the increase in
circulation will make possible a larger paper at no increase in
subscription rate.
To assist you in lining up these five new subscribers we are
making a special introductory offer to new subscribers at the
rate of S2.5O per year per subscription in clubs of five or
more. This is a substantial saving especially in view of a larger
paper in prospect. This offer expires May 31, 1957.
