[Ads-l] Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

[Jonathan Lighter]

One (of many) databases not available to the editor during the years
1968-2005 was Readex's "African-American Newspapers, 1827-1998, which has
scanned back issues of some 200 American newspapers published by and for
African-Americans over nearly 175 years.

Searches for "hep," "hepped," and "hept" elicited too many early false
positives of "her," "help," "hope," "hop," "kept" and the like.

When similar false positives were eliminated for "hep to," the earliest
example found was from 1915.

"Hepped on" did not appear. Nor did "hipped on."

"Hep cat/ hepcat" did not appear till 1938-39,  and the rare "hip cat" not
till 1949. I found no exx. of "hipcat."
