Everyone who has commented on your new Jewish
paper has expressed the hope that it will continue
in business indefinitely. We hope we'll be able to do
so-BUT-this paper costs much money to print,
much more than the revenue we hope to receive in
the form of subscriptions. The solution, obviously, is
advertising! Therefore we again make this request
of you-Please patronize our advertisers . . . please
mention your paper when securing items advertised
in The Jewish News. If the advertisers can see tangible
results from the money they spend with us-there is
no question but that The Jewish News will continue
to bring you the vital information that all of us, as
Jews, are anxious to know about.
