TIE LEDGER has steadily advanced in
favor, and is now acknowledged second

Its circulation is national, and has been
obtained through the efforts of its pub

character, and at the same time sell it at
price consistent with the present hard
times. That they have succeeded, and
well, too, the thousands of readers of TIE
LEDGER scattered from Maine to Texas
and from Oregon to Florida will bear
testimony. TIE CHICAGO LEDGER is Il
large torty-ti yht column weekly paper,
which contains stories both complete and
continued, in each number, written by
the best authors of the day, and great
variety of information interesting to cv-
cry one. The subscription price of THE
LEDGER is only $3.50 per year, postage
paid, and it is equal in every particular
to other papers of the same character
which sell for 50 year Three copies of
this valuable paper will be sent to any
one who sends 10 cents and their address
