Some Sensible Suggestions To Wideawake Business Men. There is a little talk to the wide awake. Progressive Advertiser the one who is really alive to the interests of the business to which he is devoting his every ounce of effort during working hours and his earnest thought during leisure moments. It has long since become proverbial among the greatest national advertisers that The Home Newspaper is the best medium for urging recognition and creating a demand for their goods. Even with these astute publicity experts magazine space has lost its charms. Have you ever thought, Mr. Advertiser, that vour home paper is ten times more valuable for your use than it is to the mail order man? .You. are on tho inh while the outside advertiser is largely dependent upon "general publicity results," backed up possibly by the work of a local agent or dealer who handles the line advertised. Newspaper space cost only one-fourth the price of magazine space, this statement is not made without the best of authority It is the conclusion reached by A. E. Chamberlain, one of the most prominent Chicago advertising men and announced hv him in an address before the American advertisers' association in Chicago. Read Mr. Chamberlain's logical conclusions, based on exact data, and then reflect on what this means to you as a local advertiser. Mr. Chamberlain analyzed the situation as follows: First, consider a comparison of the cost of advertising space in magazines and newspapers. Twenty-four leading maga11 *7in 11 "> -?i: : &LI!C?, I UIICIHUIIUUS HI the United States and elsewhere. Price, $(>() 72 per line. Price per line per 1,000, $.00517. Three hundred and thirty newspapers of over 5,000 circulation each, 11,858,155 circulation in forty-six states in the United States only. Price, $15.62 per line. Price per line 1,000, $00152. fNote.?Where Mr. Chamberlain uses the word "line" in the foregoing he refers to an "agate line of type," which is an arbitrary unit of space measurement used by most national advertisers. It takes fourteen agate lines to make an ordinnrv inr-h of newspaper space one column wide.) These facts arc even more startlingly true of small town newspapers than of the hifr city dailies, A moment's through will * - - *** ?
