"Socialist Standard" may cost you more (1955)

From the November 1955 issue of the Socialist Standard

In recent issues we have drawn readers attention to the loss on the Socialist Standard and have asked for assistance in expanding circulation and also for donations.

Unfortunately the response has not been sufficient to enable us to meet the difficulty.

After adding circulation costs to printers’ charges each copy costs more than the 4d. at which it has been priced. And as most copies are sold from Head Office at less than 4d. and a considerable number are given away to public libraries and other journals the loss has become too great to be continued. It is therefore possible that the price may have to be increased in the near future.
