l OFFICE OF THE SATURDAY EVENING PosT, Philadelphia, Dec. 9, 1926. THE CASKET, or FIo,cers of Literature, 1 Fit anu Sentiment, which has had an uupre- | cedented increase of patrons during the last six months, will, after the present volume is finished, contain, each number, forty octave pages, printed well, on small handsome type, upon the finest paper, stitched and covered. and furnished to subscribers at the ioN price of Two Dollars and fifty cents per annum. The Casket is collection from the choicest pieces of the Saturday Evening Post, made with reference to the difference which should exist in the materials Ofa weekly pa per, and those of d monthly publication, the former of course enriched with essays. poetry, anecdotes, and those set off by recital ofthe occurrences of the week. The latter can re- ceiye little value from mere detall of events, many of which would cease to be interesting before they were recorded.

 The vast quantity of matter crowded, by small type, and careful arrangement into the columns of every number of the Saturday Evening Post, will in the course of month, to form an interesting and periodical N ork such as the Casket has been considered by its partial friends, and such as we intend, it shaN Dc. Notwithstanding the fact, that the Cask- ct is hut collection from the Saturday Eve hing Post, we confidently predict, and indeed we are sanctioned in the experience we alrea- dy have, that its most numerous patrons will be found among the subscribers to our weekly papcr.-A large number of those who take the :. Post'' depend upon that paper for the news of the week-it is therefore read with avidity by almost every member of the family where it is received, and this general use frequently iniuresits appearance so much as almost to render it unfit for the file, and for binding. The numbers too, by this general use, are not un- frequently lost, mutulated or entirely destroy ed, and the file thus brOken.-The Casket is calculated to prevent this inconvenience, and to furnish, at a very cheap price, all the useful matter for which the weekly paper would be desirable when bound.-In thus giving per manent form and select association to the choice pieces of our weekly contributors, it is confidently anticipated that new and success full inducements will be held out for the exer- else of superior talent, and unusual care m our literary department.-In addition to the recommendation of aeatness in the generalap-' pearance-and particular attention to the ty- geographical execution, it is our intention to embellish each number of the |" "Casket" with three handsome Engravings from the hands of some of the most distinguished artists of the country. ....

 With these claims to patronage, the :: Gas ket'' will, as has been previously mentioned, be afforded to those who subscribe for thdt paper exclusively, at the low price of Ss,50
