Rensselaer Republican, Volume 19, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 February 1887 — Established in 1872. [ARTICLE]

Established in 1872.

The oldest family story paper published in the West is the Chicago Ledger, and its growth has been steady and abiding. The present year has so far been the most successful since its st irt. The Ledger gives no premiums, but the money paid out by many publications for watches, chromos, etc., is usel in making the paper more acceptable to its readers. By this course it is enabled to give a family paper for $1.50 per year which is equal to its Eastern $3 competitors. Don’t take our word for it, however, but send for a sample copy, which will be mailed free by the Ledger Company, 271 Franklin street, Chicago.
