English Translation
"Time is too expensive for me? Please pay attention to the subscription fee of other newspapers. "Prague Lagblatt" costs K 19.—, "Reichenberger Zeitung" Kc 18.— and "Bohemian" K c 18.-, "Sudetendeutsche Lages= zeitung" K 16.—; "Morning Zeitung" in M.=Ostrau Kc 19.- and our paper, "Die Zeit" (Time), only Kë 15.—. We want to clarify Jhnen he=, why we can't be even cheaper. It is a secret that newspapers are financed by advertisements. We, too, could earn at least a million kroner more in advertisements every year, if we would do it like many other newspapers, which do on the first page very German and Volkisch and forget this basic food in the advertisement section. We allow ourselves to cost a large amount of money to avoid the "time of companies and articles that we cannot recommend." "Time" is just a private capitalist enterprise, which only runs out of business. "Time," of course, also receives thin subsidies. It is more often forfeited by confiscation. The loss is almost Kc 20,000 each time. The Druc=, paper= and the fatalities alone make up 36 Heller per newspaper. In addition, the payment of the news= service, the reporting, the fees for contributions etc. And as a permanent recipient you pay only 60 Heller for our newspaper. "Time" could not be today the most read= newspaper of the Völtian Sudeten German language, if it were really too expensive. I don't want to be tied up by a permanent cover. You don' t save anything if you buy the time sometimes. In the individual sale it is relatively high for you. You get much better and cheaper if you take the time in the permanent cover and it is delivered to the house. I can't afford the time. Remember that many workers are the recipients of the "time". These people have to save the reference fee from their mouths. In many cases, two people have renounced the reference to cheap turret sheets and together refer to "the time". In the way of service, the administration of the „time" is met in every way.
