An Open Letter

TO SUBSCRIBERS:

During the last two months TIME has nearly doubled its number of subscribers. Announcements are being sent to selected lists of active Americans throughout the country. Although we try to be careful in checking off names of subscribers from the lists over which we have control, this is not always possible--a different address, similarity in names and other seemingly trivial difficulties make a 100% check impossible. If you, as a subscriber, receive one of our letters soliciting a subscription, we should consider it a high compliment to TIME if you would give our announcement and subscription card to a friend who you think ought to be interested. We will gladly send our announcements to any friends whose names and addresses you care to send us.
