In these times Of Bank suspensions And
Mercantile suspensions. the proprietors Of
the Saturday Evening Post call the at'en-
ton of the reading public to the old and
frmly-estabIished weekly paper, as paper
that never suspends. For over SO years
the Post has been published and in all
that perod-thronsh good times and
through "bsd mes" through bank inla-
| tons and bank contractions, thr ugh pros
porous seasons and through panics, the
| Pos, has been regularly issued every week
and forwarded TO lis thousands of subs.~i-
bers. It's proprietors therefore point to
the past as an unfailing index OF the future
And they feel that in asking # the reading
public continuance of the patronage
heretofore % literally bestowed upon the
Post. they are asking no more than It will
be both to the interest AMI pleasure Of the
publ C to grant. 4
Among the contributors to the Post, we
may mention the following gifted writer's:

believing, AS they do, that the practice OF
publishing the details of such losihsome

alarming increase Of vice aud crime in the
community. Like begets like, and what
