The billboard (May 1896)

Last week nearly every bill poster in the state of .Minnesota left the A. B. P. A., and went over to its young and vigorous rival. Thoroughly alarmed, the gang which dominates the old association is making every effort to stem the tide. Despite the protests of seceded members they continue to claim them and publish tbetr names as members in good standing. Naught is left them of Minnesota or Illinois, precious little of Wisconsin. Kentucky has no existence in fact, and the omission from the last number of the official organ is an acknowledgement of the truth of this assertion. But one thing can save them.
