he Saturday Evening Post was launched out of the same Philadelphia print shop where Ben Franklin had once published his
Pennsylvania Gazette. It all began when a colleague of shop owner Samuel Atkinson had the idea of printing a poem about a blind girl in the city who set type by hand. Once they had gathered a list of 200 subscribers to the poem, it seemed only logical to start a weekly newspaper.
The new publication was called
The Saturday Evening Post because it would be printed in time to be delivered to Philadelphia addresses in the second mail delivery on Saturdays. (The U.S. mail was delivered twice daily until 1950.)
