The billboard (Jan-June 1899)

-1' e, i 26 THE BILLBOARD THE GUNNING CHICAGO POSTING SERVICE. Is best illustrated by figures. Three months ago active operations were commenced on this department. The work of up-building was delayed two weeks by tbe municipal authorities. The story of its development is as follows: First board built, March J5th Number boards now up (June Jst,) ...; •' 412 Total number of running feet of space,... 31,416 Present capacity—in sheets, ... v . --• 44,880 Amount of paper now posted—in sheets, ..35,904 And our Poster Bulletins are in Chicago—on Chicago's main streets and avenues, not up alleys,'on unfrequented streets or in the outskirts. They give representative poster prominence daily to Chicago's local and transient public. In CIRCULATION AND ADVERTISING VALUE two hundred Poster Bulletins are equal to four hundred stands posted in the old way. This can be logically demonstrated to the seeker for poster knowledge. Therefore our Poster Service is already a factor entitled to most careful thought before posting Chicago. For utmost artistic effects and commercial values from your paper in Chicago place a trial order on GUNNING'S POSTER BULLETINS. The R. I. GUNNING CO., Proprietors. 289 Wabash Avenue, Chicago.
