Postage rates are crimping our style.
In the past we have always made it a practice to send the current
issue of The Coin Slot to any late renewals. We didn't want any of you to
miss a single issue and we used first class mail. The U.S. Postal system,
although if s one of the best buys in town, has not been ouradvocate. In
fact, 1 st class mail for the magazine is eating us up.
We had to make a decision on late renewal. We will no longer send
the current issue of The Coin Slot to anyone from whom we receive a
renewal after the 15th of the month. The expiration date is easily
identifiable. It can be found on the far right hand side of the top line on
your label. Check this date when you receive your copy of The Coin Slot
to make sure your subscription is not coming to an end. Send us a card
or give us a call the month before your last issue is due to arrive to
renew your subscription. If you renew before the 15th of the month you
