such as to rebound to their credit Now

EVENING PAPER
ADVERTISING.


The san Francisco correspondent Of
the Stockton Mail writes that paper as
follows
81 met the managing editor Of a big
eastern morning paper the other day.
He told me be- had 100000 circulation,
ana yet there was nothing IN II, The
great advertisers in the big eastern
cities no longer take much stock In the
morning papers. On the other hand,
the evening papers are crowded to
death with advertising. The morning
papers subsist tor the most part on
their Sunday editions, which are still
regarded as good Advertising mediums.
But the advertisers have discovered
that the Advertisements In the weeks
day editions OF the morning papers are
not read, A man needs the morning
paper IN his business IL contains a
complete account Of the previous days
markets, He puts II in his pocket ana
reads Il on his way down town, but his
wife rarely sees Il.
II think II Is true that men are not
great readers OF advertisements Ger
talnly they have not time TO read them
IN the morning papers, on the other
hand women study the advertisements
carefully, and the evening paper gives
them the fullest opportunity 10 do 80.
That Is the explanation given by man
who has been high In the management
Of big daily papers morning and eve-
ming I'm three or four Of the largest
cities Of America"
