The Paper tnat Never. SnsPends.
A Family Weekly-Devoted to Lit

TN these times Of Bank suspensions and mer-
j. cantile suspensions, the propretors of the
Saturday Evening Post call the attention Of
the reading public to their old and 6rmly- es-
tablished weekly paper, as the paper that
never suspends. For over
i.., THIRTY SIX. YEARS nj.
The Post las been published; and in all That
peroG-through t'good times a Id through
'.ba1 times % through bank limitations and
bank contrac.ions, through prosperous sea
sons and through panics. The Post has been
regularly issued every week, and lorws Ided
to its thousands of subscribers. Its proprie
tors therefore point to the past as an uniail
| ing index for the future. And they feel that

of the patronage heretofore so literally be-
slowed upon The Post, they are asking no
more than what il will he both the interest
and the pleasure of that public to grant.
