The New International, January 1947

Business Manager’s
Memo to Our Readers

From New International, Vol. XIII No. 1, January 1947, p. 2.
Transcribed &; marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.

To enable those agents of The New International, who have been somewhat slow in starting their campaign for subscriptions to the magazine, to participate fully, the end of the campaign has been put forward to January 14, 1947. It is expected that this will enable many agents to complete their quotas and give sufficient time for Workers Party branches supporting the campaign to get going.

As of now, a total of approximately 200 subscriptions has been obtained. While this is disappointing in terms of our expectations, it is a definite step forward for the magazine. The Chicago Branch, under the capable direction of our friend Herman Mies, has done the best job to date, as is shown in the subscription totals. Not far behind is the Detroit Branch, thanks to the efforts of Sam Bach! Our friends in Baltimore have gone the highest over their quota of any assigned group, and are still promising to send subs in. The Reading Branch of the Workers Party has also gone far over its quota and obtained a total of eleven subs already. Most disappointing of all has been the extremely poor results obtained in New York City, where, aside from a sharp gain in newsstand circulation, barely any work has been done to get subscriptions.

Here is the standing as of December 23, 1946:

The balance of the 200-odd subscriptions obtained are from miscellaneous sources – foreign, etc. Oh, Seattle and Boston – where are you? Remember that the campaign lasts until January 14, 1947, and that the $1.00 special introductory subscription offer is good until that time.
