FORTY YEARS - OF SERVICE? =
THE NEW YORK AGE
. A
A spaiToi? forty yglTrs in the cxis-"
tence and service of most human a?
gencies ig not to be lightly esteemed.
For a Negro journal to be able to say
that it-ljas counted otf those many
years i3 remarkable. Certainly only
merit can keep such'a journal going
for such"a period." That The "New""
York &ge has been able to visit its
readers for almosthalf century, is
after all no great surprise to those
acquainted with that journal. It is
sane, conservative, courageous and
" Intelligent. "It is always-"" found"" "In "
the front ranks flghtinf for decency,
for a wholesome America. It is a
worthwhile champion, of the rights
and privileges of colored citizens,
though not of the fire eating type.
-perhape^the?colored
journal of 'the country to-day?certainly
it has no superior?-and its influence
is far reaching. The Palmetto
Leader congratulates the New
York Age on its long years of service j
? - and wishes for it many more foriy <
years of usefulness,
