The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1871-11-25

the sure result may be given
in a few lines. The publisher
starts off exultingly. He la
bors tirelessly, he hires the
best talent, and arranges his
room faultlessly. After three
numbers are published, be finds
himself still drawing more
heavily than ever upon his
capital. What is the matter7
He examines his books and
begins to worry. He is getting
nervous. He really cannot
tell whether he is to make a
success OF failure of it. But he
must keep on, he says, lie can
not afford to lose what he has
put in. This is the real time
for him to stop. But no, he
catches sight Of some twill O.
the wisp" of encouragement,
and follows it up. He will
make up. he says, all losses by
additional! perseverance. He
imagines the eternal sinking of
money will do it, SO he throws
the good after the bad. Then
he feels that bis pride is in
volved, he becomes more ner-
vous, ard can see nothing
clearly, ne throws out more
money and then-then comes
the inevitable crash which
swallows up his magnificent
project as the hosts of Pharoah
were buried in the Red Sea.
Instances of this kind which
have occurred in the Uuited
States within a few years, are
almost countless. Putnam's
magazine is a notable example
Of the sinking of publishers
money in New York city. Sus-
tanned by the prestige of one
of our largest and most re,
spectacle publishing houses
edited By the highest and most
carefully chosen talent, con-
fributed to by the best literary
men of the time, and put on
the market through the bust,
ness facilities of the house, il
yet made two distinct failures
carrying away a fortune or
one occasion.
The Round Table is another
prominent instance of failure
and it failed under similar higl
: conditions. The most desper
: ate efforts were made to keeI
it before the public, but the
task was hopeless. Its epi
; taph was written in a compar
r atively short space of time. A
t case in Boston not long since
7 attracted much attention.
, Every one said that the period
} ical must succeed! The pub
fishers were jubilant and tn,
: editors in high expectation O
: a raise Of salary. But it wa
: no use 70 hope; the pablisher
could not pay expenses. s
t one day the publication cease'
e to appear and was totally fol
e gotten in a weeks time. 9Th
: Paper published in Pitts
j burgh, Pa, is a remarkabl
instance of the dangers an
, difficulties which surround th

pertinent, and the publishers
determined that it should sue
ceed-yet after an expendi--
ture of nearly 5000, 900 in four
months of ifs publication, it
sunk quietly to oblivion
Even the living magazines are
not on sound basis. Some of
them are struggling severely
for a bare existence; and others
would not be continued, were
it not for the fact that they are
necessary to the publishers for
certain purposes of advertis-
ing.
Yet the reiterated statement
"we have enough magazines
now, more than we can sup
port" and all the facts and fig
ures of competition, do not
deter the unhappy men who
have magazine on the brain.
Here are a half-dozen flourish
ing publishers reaping a hand
some fortune annually. They
see the result and resolve to
accomplish as much, and so
they start, run the ship upon a
rock, and their capital is soon
swallowed up in the sea of
speculation. Few people have
any idea of what this compe-
J titions is, or the unscrupulous
method some publishers make
use Of to break up a new pub
| lication.
j But look now at the natural
advantages possessed by an old
established magazine. It's
enormous editions advertise it
at each issue. Its subscribers
are used to it and are interest
ed in it. No amount of can
J vassing will move them aside
: for the strange covers of a
newcomer. Magazine growth
! is of slow progress; only inf
mite labor will work up a circu-
: lation. But it holds on strong
ly. If it be of a respectable
character, people learn to look
upon it as an old friend; they
, bind and save it as carefully as
they would an heirloom. Then
again, new magazine is sell
dom SO handsome in appear
ance, or so well made up rs the
older ones, for it has not learn
ed the ways of finding the best
, talent; its material is hardly in
, working order and its business
facilities in putting it before
the public are much more linn,
tied.
Thus, irrespective OF the
best talent, the largest capital
the utmost energy and ever
the best man for the purpose
he who undertakes to make ;
3 successful magazine has no
: only a very onorous burden
but has entered a field of en-
: terprise, where, under tn
4 highest conditions, success
at best uncertain. Is it then
great matter of wonder that s
: many persons of less mean
. should have become bankrup
