Billboard advertising (July-Dec 1895)

IO BrTTboafd ^dvgrfcrsfrig. Publishers' Corner. The publishers' chat has been crowded out cf every edition that has appeared since February, although copy has been regularly prepared to cover this depart- ment There is no assurance as we write' that this matter will not meet with the fate of that which i-nmediately preceded it. in The Ju'y issue consists of sixteen p <ges, and although most of the extra space will be given over to the fairs, we hope some small space will be left us, the more so as we feel certain that every subscriber of Billboard Advertising is keenly interested in its progress. llli Its growth has been little short of mar- velous. Beginning with a circulation of 2 65? copies, it has forged ahead month by month, until, the June issue, at this writing, is announced to be 15,000, and * will probably exceed that number by a -handsome margin before the-edition is run off. All of which argues that this publication was badly needed in the field that it has entered, that it is unique, and that the methods followed in shaping its course, and its general conduct, have been good methods. * t* But circulation growth, is a thing in itself; the building of an advertising patronage is altogether a different mat- ter. Our subscribers, be they printers, bill posters, distributers, officers of raits, adsmiths, or. advertisers, are almost with- out exception, pronounced and out- spoken in their admiration of out rapid progress, but -when it comes to advertis- ing, they simply are not in it—not even for the fractional fart of a minute We are not speaking of the general adver. tiser, because he never comes into a new magazine. We are speaking of our own subscribers; 15,000 of them, all in sym- pathy with our aims and objects, all realizing that Billboard Advertising is published in their interest, and all capable of understanding, upon due re- flection, that we afford them the best, in fact the only medium which they can employ economically to keep in touch with their trade, to exploit their re- sources, and to make known their wants. At that we are singularly prosperous. In fact our surplus warrants ns in-enlarg- ing the paper this issue to sixteen pages, and running it that way for the remainder of the year, unless it is deemed best to keep it at eight pages and issue it fort- nightly; but, for all this, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the revenue, to say nothing of the added interest such ad- vertising would give us, -would enable us to produce such an improvement in this periodical as would render it easily the handsomest, the best, the most interest- ing class publication in the world. We •want you to ponder over it. i'i't ^___ After you have thought the matter over carefully, just bear in mind that August issue will be a Special. It will be styled our Midsummer Number, and is issued in honor of the convention of the A. B. P. A. In addition to our regular edition, a special foreign edition, inten- ded for general distribution throughout Great Britain, India, South Africa and Australia, will also be run off. -_ It is es- timated that the combined issue will exceed 20,000. We want our subscribers to enable us to make this particular number a credit alike to themselves and .to the paper. Send in your advertise- ment now. OUR CriRISTTIAS NUflBER. The Christmas number of Billboard Advertising will be superb publication. It will be the regular December Edition, bnt will be augmented by the addition ot of many stories and poems by first-class - authors. It will' consist of thirty-two pages, and the coyer will be handsomely lithographed in colors. In addition to the American Edition which will consist of over fifteen thousand copies, some ten or twelve thousand copies will be distri- buted among the bill posters, newspaper and prominent advertisers throughout England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales. South Africa and Australia. Advertising rates will be furnished upon application. It will be issued December First, and the firms close November 25th. Some people read one paper and some another. Some-people take one maga- zine and some another. Bnt all of the people see the billboards. There is no means which -will reach an entire community so effectually, as the billboards and newspapers sink into ab- solute insignificance in comparison. Beginning with our August Number we will inaugurate two new departments of interest to retail merchants. One will be "Window Advertising," and tne other will be "Billboard Advertising for Retailers " Both will be conducted by a thoroughly competent and experienced editor and will prove of great interest and value to retail merchants in all lines. The Circus Special of the Dramatic News, is a great number and a great ad- vertisement for Mr. Richardsons' spicy paper. The third annual convention of the Protective League of American Showmen will be held at Cincinnati, O., commenc- ing Tuesday, January 7. if you want the news of the circus world, you will have to read the Dramatic News. Never in the history of the busi- ness has such an admirable page of news and gossip been served up. -The circus department is conducted by Mr. Freder- ick McCloy, business manager of the paper. There may be a very few lines of trade which cannot utilize the billboards to ad. vantage a very few, mind you, but there is cone that can use the newspapers and magazines that cannot obtain better and cheaper service with posters. Trade papers and class publications are always excellent mediums. Their ad- vertising pages are always as eagerly scanned as their news columns. One of these days you will see some of the baking powder firms break out on the boards When it happens you will see the others breaking for cover under existing circumstance, an entirely new brand could be established almost in a single week, if the projectors had. the necessary nerve. Bill posters should subscribe for Prof- itable Advertising! It is always inter" esting and fairly teems with pointers and and valuable information. Mr. Ed. A. Stahlbrodt offices in the Cable Building, corner Broadway and Houston Street,; are palatial in every respect. Every convenience and every luxury of modern times has been brought into requisition to render them luxuri- ous complete. President R. C Campbell isdetermined that O. J. Gude shall have a fair chance to present his. side of the story. An advertisement may be handsome in appearance, and yet utterly worthless as a bringer of business. Be practical first of all.— Art in Advertising. From America we have received the '■Donaldson Cipher Guide " issued by the Donaldson Lithographic Co., of Cincin- nati. It is a wonderful compilation alike in the variety and multiplicity of its code _ words, and also in the information it gives abont the theatres and halls in every city and town on the Continent. ; The same firm are large show printers and stock a great variety of colored lithos for every kind of show. They have a ; London agency at 46,. Chandos Street, Charing Cross.— The Sill Poster, London Eng. At last it has come. You will find it' in the report of the executive committee. We mean' hoardings." It's English you know. By the way Messers Members of the committee, what is the matter with the American "Bill Board ? " Surely no word can boast of a meaning more exact '■ or definite at least to American ears. Ed. A. Stahlbrodt's pluck and methods have done much to enchance prices in bill posting. R. C. Campbell's Programme of the Convention meets with general approba- tion. In newspapers you get small space for big money. In outdoor poster advertis- ing you get big space for little money. You pay your money and take your choice On the dead yon better take both.— Prof- itable Advertising. MURAL SIGNS AND PAINTED BULLETINS.
