THE ERIE BILL POSTING CO. ED. A. STAHLBRODT, Manager. Bill Posters, Distributers and General Advertisers, No. 10 North Park Row. ERIE, PA. Editor Bzixboard ADVERTISING:— Each, arrival of Biuboabd Advertis- ing compels me to knock off everything else until I peruse every line, and after - so doing, I invariably say, "It's a daisy/' And so it is. Now, I think that every bill poster should read it and become a subscriber at once, it being the official publication of the Associated Bill Posters' Association of the United States and Canada, everything of interest to its members should be found in its columns, thereby lessening the labors of its officers considerably, and knowing all matters to be authentic As all our craft are aware, we meet in Detroit. Mich., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, July 9th, 10th and nth, and everyjnember, if they never attended a meeting before, should attend this one, as matters of importance will be brought up. that will amply repay all for time and money spent. Bill posters generally, ■whether members or not, should also find time to attend and listen to the discus- sions on matters that can only be vent- ilated at such gatherings. ; All grievances can and will be settled. No matter what the kick may be, come prepared to give vent to your feelings, and shake off * that tired feeling." These annual gatherings serve to make us better acquainted, and places confi- dence in the respective abilities oi each other. Why bill posters can't be united as one solid brotherhood is beyond my comprehension. If united, nothing but success can perch on our banner. I really and positively know bill posters who have had work sent them at the regular Association rates of three cents per sheet per week and have refused to do it, all they wanted being four cents for thirty days. Probably these people didn't know the war was over. If they had attached themselves to our Associa- tion and gotten their work through the only channel that members should secure work—our New York office, under the management of E. B Stahlbrodt—they would have known what was going on and be money in pocket. Let any bill poster take paper and pencil, and they will find it impossible to do work for less than Association price and do it honestly. Then why do. they. ask a big price for theatre and circus work, and for commercial less? Were I a -manager, I would insist upon.the same courtesy shown me. Dwell npon this brother posters, and yon will readily see the importance of coming into our Association before it is too late; the longer you stay out the more money you lose. We don't say that our Association should run your business but the black eye given bill posters has to a great extent been.given by you yourself. -May I once more ask of you,_as mem- bers of our craft, come to our meeting, take a vacation, bring your wife along, get acquainted with the men- who are now conducting the bill posting business, see the benefits derived from being a member of an Association.' All other branches of business can be united; why can't we? And we can, with your aid. We have several propositions for mem- bership to be acted upon, and I hope to receive calls for several more application blanks before the meeting. • Three states have organized since our last meeting and asc for admission. So you see. with all the obstacles put in our way, we are creeping at a very rapid rate and are in shape to continue on. One word about our New York office. For years we have been in the hands of the middle, man, who has made capital and held big positions at the expense of the bill poster, making his own terms, which we had to leave or accept as he seen fit. He could make any deal he wanted, and never give our interest any consideration. Now all this is changed. We have our New York representative, who devotes his entire time and attention to our interest, and if you will place your confidence in him you will see where ■ the benefits are derived. 1 f we searched the entire country we could find do mere competent man for the place than the one pur Association selected, Mr. E. A- Stahlbrodt. He is qualified in every re- spect for the place, and is filling it to the letter. The good work can and will go on. Join us and see for yourself I wish more of our members would write to your valuable paper letters like our Brother Breslauer. It does one good to read such interesting articles. There is pi'es of paper ready to be put out if the advertisers know that we are united. Therefore return all paper un- less it comes from our New York office, and they will see then who and what we are. My agreement and membership I . consider the largest and most available assets in my business, and under the leadership of Mr. Stahlbrodt, I have got- ten more work and money than all other solicitors put together. Let that little lamp of reason in your mind burn, and never let it die out, and the near future will develope all I say to be true. Write for any and all informa- tion; ready to answer all questions for the benefit of our craft, and when success does crown our hard work and earnest endeavors, no one will throw his hat higher or shout louder than Yours at all times, Ballie Carroll. Albany, N. Y., May 30th, 1895. DENVER NEWS. Bubb Brothers have purchased all posting privileges at Williamsport, Pa. Mr. George H. Bubb, who formerly did the posting in that city, but recently piloted the Bubb Comedy Co, with no small degree of success, hss returned once more to his former fields, and prom- ises to make things boom in that vicinity. Mr. T.. J. Murphy, "Treasurer of the American Bill Posting Co., Brooklyn, N. Y.,will sail for Europe before the next issue of this paper. The best wishes of . the entire craft goes with him, he being one of the oldest bill posters in the United States, Safe return. Denver, Col., May 2S, 1S95. Billboard advertising, Cincinnati, Ohio. Gentlemen:— I notice that you have a good editor- ial in your last issue in regard to accept- ing no ads. from any irresponsible parties for distributing, on account of a number of complaints. We think that you are taking a good stand on that; as surely distributing of samples, pamphlets or dodgers is just as essential as bill posting and they go hand in hand, and you can- not impress too firmly upon the bill posters, or parties who make a specialty of distributing, that the work should be done honestly and conscientiously. There should be a fair price paid for distribut- ing. We figure if a man averages six hundred to eight hundred pieces of ad- vertising matter a day, he is doing a good day's work, and it is a trade in itseli. Some people may say, "Well, I can dis- tribute as easy as anybody else." I say it is easy for a man to saw a board when you are looking at him, but let some people take the saw, and very often it is sawed crooked. A distributer who will average one house a minute will make siity houses an hour, or in ten hours he will put out six hundred pieces of adver- tising matter. In distributing, we have to rely upon the honesty of the parties distributing, as there is hardly any way to check this work up- With bill posting you can ride around and show a man almost every sheet of his paper, but to find out if dis- tributing is done properly, you would have to knock at the door of every house. We use a horse and wagon that makes a specialty of distributing, and on lop of our wagon is the following sign, in large letters: "Notice how we do distributing; a bill in every house." We also stamp distributing matter with the following copy : ''If more than one of these are left at your house, please notify us at once. Telephone 1351 The Curran Dis- tributing Co." This also helps to check the men that are putting out the work, and they will do their work right. And we argue that no distributing can be done for less than two dollars a thousand and from that up, according to the bulk of the matter. When advertisers offer to pay only a dollar, or a dollar and a quarter for dis- tributing, they are really wasting that much money in the long run, paying on an average of three to four dollars per thousand, because the men double the work to get rid of it when they are not paid a sufficient price to make a profit, and we figure that it costs us one dollar and a half per thousand to distribute pamphlets or circulars. . Yours very truly, James A. Curran. We notice an article from Mike Bres- lauer, the bill poster of Minneapolis, where he says he strips the paper down to the bare .boards and blanks, them. That is also a good idea, but after he does that, if he will take a lot of his old flour sacks or old canvas, and cover some of the boards with that, post it on as you would paper and then tack it, you would be surprised how long his paper will look neat and nice. We have tried that in this territory and it has given wonderful sat- isfaction, as the canvas very often lasts as high as four or five months on a place. John Coleman, the bill poster from Leadville. is visiting us this month. Don't you think that it would be a good idea for bill posters to exchange views, or express their opinions about posting, and also keep each other in- formed in regard to all business matters that would be for the good of the frater- nity? J. G. Reese, of Reese & Long, Scran- ton, Pa , while on his return from Phila- delphia, where he was in attendance at the Odd Fellows' celebration, was a caller at our New York office, snd said : "Since I signed the agreement, I have no trouble in getting the Association prices, and business has improved fifty per cent.
