Delinquents Attention

If those of our subscribers who are delinquent appreciated the difference their delinquency made to us they would pay up, we feel confident.

The business manager asks the editor to say something urgent on this subject. So here goes. For our sakes if not for your own sakes, please send us the money you owe us.

The Price of the Monthly
