OF
THE NEW YORK LEDGER
FOR q 9.

The LEDGER has been more prosperous-has made
more money during the past twelve months-than any
other paper, either daily or weekly, published in New
York any other city in this country. The great
reason why the LEDGER has been so much more sue
cessiul than any or all other papers is that have
not hesatcd TO spend money freely in securing the
services of all the great and popular writers of the
country. Willie Other papers have been compelled to
economze-o cut down the size of their shscts and
print on q poor quality Of paper have on the
other hand, been enabled to keep up to the highest
point of excellence in every respect, and to avail
selves of all the improvements aud novelties which
would tend to the entertainment and qualification Of
our readers. We have never offered humbug pre-
miums to subscribers, for the reason that we
have preferred to put me,t or premium into the paper
itself, and in that way gives every reader than
the worth of his money Besides nine out of every
ten papers that have offered premiums have been
swndling and any paper that has anything
to do with that sort of thing is sure die. THEY are
not coaduoted on sound Jysiaess lriaciples
The following are the names Of some of our leading
contributors for the new year-1s62. What other
paper ever presented such array Of distinguished

er eminent writers residing in different parts of the
Union.
Our corps of contributors for the coming year will
be so large and will embrace such variety of emf
nent talent that every department OF literature will
receive the particular attention Of some compe
tent to do it imple and special justice, In fact, ou
contributors will send us from week to week mucl
more matter than we can possibly use so that We
shall always have fresh and superintendent supply
from which to select TIE VERY BEST.
The LEDGER's great success is owing to the fac
that we spare no expense in getting up the BEST
FAMILY rAPEn-a paper Of high moral tone. The ex
allied reputation of its contributors, the practical ant
Invariably pure and healthy character of all its art
cles the care which is taken that not even one often
sve word shall appear in its columns and the SUI
periority of its Tales and Sketches have gained fol
the NEW YoHK LEDGER a position that no literar,
paper has ever before reached.
