From Wikipedia:
Charles K. Johnson ... established and became the president of the International Flat Earth Research Society of America ... Under his leadership, over the next three decades, the Flat Earth Society grew in size from a few members to about 3,000. Johnson distributed newsletters, flyers, maps, and other promotional materials to anyone who asked for them, and managed all membership applications together with his wife, Marjory, who was also a flat-earther. The most famous of these newsletters was Flat Earth News, which was a quarterly four page tabloid. Johnson paid for this through annual dues of members, which ranged from $6 to $10 over the course of his leadership.
Some headlines from Flat Earth News during the '70s and early '80s:
