POTENT LITERARY FACTOR.

Excellence of American Ma%s<aZines
Made Possible by Advertisements.
Edward w. Box editorially discusses
| advertisements as "A Potent Literary
Factor in the Ladies' Home Journal.
He maintains that the advertisements
of today are made so attractive that
n magazine would lose much of its
charm, beside a great part of its value
and interest, were they to be omitted.
1.-The advertisement, too" Mr.. Box
contends, has become n literary fac
tor. Without the rapid growth of the
art of advertising, and the substantial
growth of income which such progress
means, our magazines could not posi-
bly, be made what they are to-day.
The advertisement has made the mod
ern magazine. in point Of literary and
artistic excellence, possible. 1t has be-
come q distinct literary factor, and as
potent and a%ll-powerful a factor as
ever entered into literary considera-
lions. Which of our magazines pub
lished in these days. for example, could
continue to give its table of contents
If all advertisements were withheld
from its pages? Not a single one OF
them, and l except none. The actual
cost of the single number of any of
magazines is beyond average public
conception. That cost is possible to
their owners only and solely because
! of the income derived from the adver-
tisements. AT the low price for which
the majority Of our periodicals are sold
to-day no profit whatever ensues from
that source. = 1t is for this rea-
son that every reader of a periodical
should approve of, rather than oppose.
the advertisement. And the readers
support Of the magazines advertise
ments means q direct return to him.
II the reader %patronizes the advertis-
ers of the magazine which he reads he
necessarily helps to make the adver-
tisements in that periodical profitable,
and naturally the advertiser is willing
to continue to O his wares in
that particular magazine. This adds
to the income of the periodical, and en-
ables the owners of it to enter into
larger and better literary and artistic
undertakings. Thus, not alone does
the reader benefit the advertiser and
the magazine, but he indirectly benefits
himself, = ~
