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

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

rivals either in the form of majjKi
