In proportion to their circulation,
the cheapest advertising medium is
the small enuntry daily or weekly
newspaper. The large magazines and
newspapers charge small fortune for
AN advertisement in single issue. A
Wellington man wrote to several Of
the eastern magazines some time ago
to inquire the cost Of inserting an
advertisements. He learned that the
Cosmopolitan magazine charged $3.50
for single page advertisement for
one issue. For less thsna page, a per
cens above that amOuDs proportion.
ately is charged. Figuring on basis Of
1880 a page, the Cosmopolitan last
month carried s52,5O0 worth Of ad-
yerti5iDg. The exact amount OF
advertising in the magaz.ne for July
was iD she neigb5OrhUOd OF SO 900.
MunseJ and McClure's magazines
charge 800 a page per issue each.
This is a little less than the COsmo-
DOlitan's prices. The Laajes' Home
Journal charges $500 an Issue for
the advertisements on its last cover
page. Contracts for this space are
always made several mur5hs ahead.
The prises for the second and the next
TO the last page are unkne~D, but are
undoubtedly higher. A single page
advertisement In any Of the big
New YORK daily newspapers costs
about $500 an Issue. Those papers
always carry from zen TO forty pages
of advertising in the Sunday issues.
rhe wesk day issues carry from three
to eight pages. A column advertise
ment in Aarper's Weekly used to cOss
s96. 900 year. NOae Of these papers
or mas aEines give anywhere near the
returns for the meaey as the small
country daily newspaper that charges
from SIS to $40 month per column,
compared with the number Of papers
circulated within the territory from
which the trade is drawn. In fact,
there is M advertising so cheap as the
columns of the sIall daily newspaper.
II Wellington were three times as
large as it is, the advertisers would be
required to pay FIVE or six times as
much for advertising as they new paw,
and receive only three times az much
service. The Wellington advertisers
receive more and better service for
their money In proportion than the
advertisers OF any NJ the larger cities.
Do they realize this?
