The st. Louis Westliche Post is the
leading German daily of the Mississippi
valley And one Of the few great German
newspapers in the United States.
Established in 1857, it soon passed in
to the hands of Emil Preetorius and
the Hon. Carl Schurz. For 40 years
the Westliche Post has shown the most
effective devotion to honorable and pro-
gressiye ideas.
Edward Preetorius, business manager
and treasurer. is man of distinction
throughout the Southwest, and is known
10 many thousands i'm other portions If
The country for his broad business meth
