To Subscripiionto BANNER / year from ^ '^'jdytXS^ \m -f

'^:

v.i-^r o;!// .-Ji^irn o-fuf); Banned Office, ^: n-'Hw f.j ;:^

Dear Sir:

I take the liberty of annexing the above Account for the
Banner newspaper, and of soliciting an immediate remittance of the
amount. The enormotis expense which has been found, by experience,
to attend the sending of Collectors through the countiy, and the indiffer-
ent success which too often attends their exertions, has con&trained me
to try the effect of direct application to our friends by Mail.

The unceasing labour, both of body and mind, which attends the
publication of a Newspaper, renders it absolutely necessary that pecu-
iHary anxiety should not be superadded. The disbursements of a paper
are almost all paid in advance, and the stock of materials requires a large
sum of sunk capital. Newspaper subscriptions should properly all be
faid in advance, but unfortunately the credit system of the country
makes it almost impossible to carry this out — and Publishers are driven
to give more or less credit, which the profits of the business will really
not afford. The terms of credit are generally extended to the utmost
limit of his means, and unless the subscriber keeps time with him
he is certain to be incommoded by it. The consequence of this very
generally has been, that the publisher (thrown into difficulty by the
inconsideratencss of his subscribers) is forced to seek assistance
from friends or through the banks, and becomes fettered by obligations
to individuals — and to this process we may trace much of the time-serv-
ing too often found in Canadian Journals. Every reader of a paper
who dot's not pay up promptly, may depend upon it, that he helps to
enfeeble the honest and bold tone of the Public Press.

I speak feelingly on this subject — for the fearless manner in which
Tlic Banner discusses every subject which comes up, makes it necessary
to depend entirely on our own resources— and i appeal to all our
►Subscribers that it is their dutp to be prompt. To give six months credit

Pa^.

on the large number of Papers which issue from this Office requires a
heavy amount of capital ; — longer credit cannot be afTorded ; and the
benefit gained from those Subscribers who take advantage of the
cash price (15s.) is heavily over-balanced by those who greatly exceed
the limited credit.

This Circular will be sent to all our Subscribers ; but there are many
among them to whom it is not applicable. There are numbers who pay
promptly and freely, and they are cordially thanked for it ; I trust they
will not be offended at receiving a copy of this Circular, as it would
have been invidious to make selectioas.

I remain^

Dear Sir, , , , . ,. .^^

Your most obedient servant,

GEORGE BROWN.

N. B.— It is net necessary to send the exact amount ; any numbei of dollars
can be placed to the credit of the party. Letters containing remittances should
be marked on the cover " Money Letter," and be handed to the Post Master.
All Letters sent in this way will be at the risk of this office, and be acknow-
ledged weekly through the Paper.
