Adelaide mail

The Adelaide Mail was a weekly newspaper published in Adelaide, South Australia, from 1883 to 1954. It was founded by John Howard Angas, a prominent businessman and politician, and was initially known as the "South Australian Mail". The newspaper was known for its conservative views and was often critical of the state's Labor government.

The Adelaide Mail was a popular and influential newspaper in South Australia during its heyday, with a circulation of over 30,000 copies per week. It was known for its in-depth coverage of local news, politics, and sports, as well as its feature articles and editorials.

The newspaper was also known for its colorful and sometimes provocative editorials, which often sparked controversy and debate. The Adelaide Mail was also a strong supporter of the British Empire and was critical of the Australian Labor Party's policies on issues such as trade and tariffs.

The Adelaide Mail ceased publication in 1954, after a long decline in circulation and profitability. The newspaper's assets were subsequently acquired by the Adelaide-based newspaper group, News Limited, which merged the Adelaide Mail with its own newspaper, The Advertiser, to create a new daily newspaper, The Advertiser and Mail.
