READERS REBEL AT RANT RATE RISE Bowing to pressure from readers, the management of the Rant-N-Rave Free Press vowed to forestall any increase in the price of The Rant. The Rant is currently priced below cost at 5$. At a meeting with members of RAG (Readers Against Greed) consumer advocate and merchant Chameleon said,"We don't care if you're losing money, raise ad rates if you need tokens to run the printing press." Faced with the loss of reader- ship or shutting down the paper due to lack of funds, ad rates have been 18
raised dramatically. New rates are in effect starting with the February 17, 1988 A.C. issue. They are: Full-Page Ad with graphics: 500$ 1/2 Page Ad (5 to 6 lines): 300$ 1/3 page Ad (1 to 4 lines): 200$ Full-Page, Fancy-Framed Love $ 700$ Love Token up to 6 words/names: 200$ Posting of "Found" items: FREE Special rates negotiated for frequent advertisers and non-profit groups. 19

He reminds all residents of their responsibility to keep their turfs in order. Signed, RJScott 33
