Van Beuren & Co., New York ,— This is what the Association has long been in need ot.

Logan & Nelson Horrall of-Washing ton, lnd., are reaching out after new business. EDWARD A. STAHLBRODT, OF ROCHESTER N. Y. Edward A. Stahlbrodt, whose portrait appears upon our first page, was born in Rochester, N. Y.. December 15, r86o, and is of German parentage. He re- ceived his education in the public schools when at age of eleven years he entered the employ of the Evening Express Printing Company. Here he worked ten years, going through the various depart- ments of 'devil." feeder, pressman, job and news compositor. In ifc8i he en- gaged with the Caledonia Advertiser. and remained about two years. From there he went to Mt. Morris, N. Y , to take charge of the Enterprise office, but remained only a short time returning to Rochester. In the fall of 1884 he started in business for himself at 18 Mill Street where he began the manufacture of print ers' roller composition. In 1885 he added a line of printers' suoplies, comp -ising presses, inks, type, etc., and the following year began the manufacture of steam flour paste. The same year he also start- ed a bill-posiing establishment In 1889 these enterprises were consolidated and formed into a stock corporation, known as the Rochester Bill Posting Company, of which he is the manager, secretary ana treasurer. Last November in passing through Erie, Pa., he found the bill boards there so bad that he at once opened up an office and now has one of the finest plants in running order, which also inc'udes the manufactuie of paste. Upon the reorganization of the old In- ternational Bill Posters' Association, of North America and the general change of policy and name to that of that Asso- ciation to the Associated Bill Posters' Association of the United . States and Canada, at a meeting held at Chicago, 111, July 15, 1891, Edward A. Stahlbrodt was unanimously elected as President. In 1892 at the Rochester Convention, and again in 1S93 at the New York Conven- tion, he was re elected to the same office. In 1S94 at the Philadelphia Convention, the by-laws were changed to give an Ex- ecutive Committee full charge of the business matters of the Association, and Mr Stahlbrodt was elected its Chairman. Owing to the very important turn bill board display advertising had taken, it was found necessary for the Association to hold a Special Convention at Cincin- nati, O , January 9th, l c 95, and there de- cided to open a general suite of offices in New York City, under the representation of Mr Edward A. Stahlbrodt, where he is now situated. Mr. stahlbrodt is a member of Monroe Commandery, No" 12, Knights Templar ; Damascus Temple, Nobles of the mystic Shrine; is serving his second term as Exalted Ruler of Rochester Lodge No. 24, B. P O. Elks, and was appointed chair- man of the Grievance Committee at the Jamestown Convention. He has served two terms as school commissioner, and - was nominated for assemblyman by the Repub icans of bis district. If the advertisements rather than the subscriptions make the publication of a paper at a low price possible, the chap who borrows a copy practically pays for "it if he reads the ads, Unfortunately, however, the kind of man who prefers 10 borrow a copy of a paper is scarcely like- ly to increase the value of an ad to any : extent, even if he reads it over forty times. —Printers Ink. DENVER NOTES. The Curran Bill Posting and Advertis ing Company are doing distributing this month for W. T. Hanson Co., Schenec- tady, N. Y. Mr. George Newton, Advance Agent '"Pawn Ticket 210" was in Denver last week. This was his first visit to this city. He is well-known all over the country as an advertising agent having been connected with some of the largest enterprises in the country, andalso Pain's Spectular outdoor Shows. We found him a good fellow. The Curran Bill" Posting and Advertis- ing Company are doing a lot of posting this month for Scribner's Magazine ^hich we received from Houghtaling's National advertising Service POINTERS FOR BILL POSTERS. We think that if bill posters will work to the advertiser's interest by making always the best show for him when his work comes to the office, and if the char- ter of the work is snipe, half-sheets, one- sheets or three sheets that as soon as this paper is out, he should send a list of the routes or streets that have been worked with this paper, to the advertiser- If it is stand work, then the bill poster should furnish the advertiser a list and the date when all the stands were posted so the advertiser can check his paper up. It is nothing but fair and reasonable that the advertiser should check np' posting, distributing or sign painting as well as he would check up his newspaper ads. We make it a rule always to furnish list of routes and list of stands regularly every month, to oil advertisers that we are posting for.— Curran Denvet t PRETTY NEAR ALL, We are happy to state that we now number among our subscribers nearly all the bill posters of the United States and Canada. The list of those who had not subscribed was carefully gone over dur- ing the last month and personal letters sent to each of them As a result, we are enabled to count among our sub- scribers every bill poster in the territory mentioned with theexception of sixteen. Of these latter two are not interested in our efforts on behalf of the bill boards. Eight have not assigned a reason and six cannot afford to subscribe. Arrange- ments will probably be perfected through Mr. Ed. Stahlbrodt or some other kind hearted missionary, where by even these few will receive the paper regularly before our next issue when we hope to be able to state to our subscribers and advertis- ers that we reach them all. The constant repetion of the name of a proprietary article which ensues from advertising it upon the bill boards possesses manv virtues. It fixes it firmly in the memory of the most obtuse and when this is once accomplished its uses, merits or qualities are spon as>ociated with it When you use posters say your say briefly, tersely and to the point. Change your posters often, not only the copy but the color style and general appearance. The bill boards accomplish in a ""single day what the newspapers are months in doing If you have an article of merit, a bar- gain, a novelty or a good thing of any- kind you owe it to the public to advertise it properly "" Let your advertisements be timely and reasonable and there will never be any q testion Miout their value. Be prodigal with your space but never with your copy. A little slang judicously used, is some- times valuable, but two much means loss of dignity which is always to "be greatly deplored. Some people do not like to read adver- tisements and never look into the adver- tising pages of their papers and maga- zines ; When you use the bill boards they cannot help themselves, they are bound to see your poster and see it ofen.
