Billboard advertising (July 1905)

21 Associated Billposters and Dlst'but'rs U.& Mid Billposters BrrRAYED —NOT BKATBN TAKING the story printed in the official orgran to be a truestate- BMot ot the affair, one can taardlir imagine a. scene more tryins or a corterie of business men in a more despicable role than that played by those wbo gatbered to wlt- neaa th* . iMimlltoHwn . ot Sam Pratt. It was aot' tm though Pratt bad been beaten In a fair and open fight where terms are equal. In all encounters Of that character he has more than once proved'lilinMlf .tlW:fup«lor at aU who opposed .' hliii^ But heM vnM a case of downright betrayal, on one hand, by one whom Pratt had every right to trust, and one who In fact guaranteed his support up to the last moment; ana on the other band, men wiio, wwe lytnc la mlt for tlM vlotiin •■■ .sse • • ''JSUmti: iM' Suntliar tactics among MMaeW '.bnt men of honor would not flebaet fhemselvee to praOt tbmnlbr- » • » Of the traitor and bis act little need be said.

The Windsor Hotel has been selected as headquarters for the officers and conunlttees, and the con- vention will be held in the Montreal DiiU EWL It is expected that the Csiwidian bUlposters will turn out strong, and there will, doubtless be a large attendance of billposters from the eastern atatas. Tha distance and tha « **—Hhiwtt : i n i i i ^ pi i j i .i t m^p ra yant wi s n jf vaatani men fkoiu ha tn y 'Pva* sent; hot the meeting will ha VP to the avarage. * ' * * * Unquestionably, there wiU he lots doing at the Montreal convention. There will be that t2.600 deficit in the reserve fund to he accounted for, and several other things that many of the members will naturally want to know about It will also be necessary for mean* to be foond to meat an almost certain dafloit in next yaar'a axpenaea. If the old machine la td continue on present Unes. Looks as U the dues would have to be Incr ea sad aU along the line, or else a radical. VCOnbiS o< wpenses indulged in. There will also be an avalantfh Ot requests to Increase rates. Probably three-fourths of the members have already applied for permission to ad- vance their prices all the way from twenty-five to fifty per cent What the aOMit oC meib. a sweeping Ineraaaa will he no one can tell untn It has been put in force. The great trouble is that it comes all in a bunch and looks bigger. When the board of directors decreed that no advances should be made until this meeting they thought to stem the tide; but it was like trying to sweep back that tide with a broom. The increases will come now in greater number, and consequently be more apparent to the advertiser, that If the board haA alloara^ .tham-.ta. ha. made gradually. Bn^aas Is^'on tha liieraase, however, and will stand It. * • • Wonder If anything will be done this time to establish a checking system. With the Increased rates the adver- tiser ought to ha pravMad, 'WlthvfoBia additional means of khowlnr that his posters are up without having to pay for that information. The sending to the advertiser of a list of locations is an evidence of good faith on tlM<Jiart of the billposter, but It is not AH: that could be done to tnnreaso the faith of the advertiser a list of locations Is a question of what the advertiser is entitled to so much as it Is a question of "how much can the volume of busi- ness be increased?" that demands tbe Instalatlon of a system «l checking that will make advartisara teal abso- lutely sure that thay (ura gattliis all they pay for. • • • Then there is the question of cen- sorship, mentioned before in these columns. Just now the American Bill- posting Co. is defending a suit for 'la m ags a ■baoa a aa .It.; wtfmA ■ tha. word "hell" on aeima theatrical poatsra .
