Effective February 1st, the price of the Tribune is reduced from $2.00 to $1.50 per year (except for copies going outside of St. Croix and Dunn Counties, on which we have to pay extra postage and wrapping charges, and which will remain at $2.00/year). We are happy to announce that we had a quotation of about 8c per pound of paper last week, and although this is still about four times what it cost us before the war, yet we are going to stand the difference and give you the Tribune again for $1.50 per year. For those who have paid the $2.00 in advance, the balance will be pro-rated and the subscription will be extended to cover the difference.
