CLAIMS RADIO DIDN'T DO THE JOB IN ADLESS N.Y.
Says the Chicago Daily News:
"Without newspapers for the 72 hours prior to 1 A. M. Wednesday, Dec. 17, New Yorkers didn’t buy as usual which anyone should have known, anyhow. But a strike of the deliverymen gave another expensive laboratory test of the necessity of newspaper advertising to retail trade. Chicago had the classic test of that sort in a stereotypers' strike in 1898, which came right at the most exciting period of the SpanishAmerican War.
"The 1898 demonstration was scientifically conclusive as to the effects upon business, although advertising was far less developed 44 years ago.
"But no doubt many curious souls have longed for a test of
that kind in the age of radio. Well, they got it this month. It
cost everybody plenty. Radio didn't do the job. Wartime prosperity didn't do it, The enviable and deserved renurtations of famous stores
didn't do it. The slump came, as every newspaperman knew It would
come, and New York's Christmas was curtailed."
