NEW MARX IN ADVERTZS-
ING RATES

The raise in advertising rates by
the Curtis publications sets a new
mark for magazine advertising prices.
The new rate is as follows: Ladies
Home Journal. 81 per line. $4,000
per inside page: inside cover pages
$500 and $1,000 for the back COW
er. Saturday Evening Post IS per
line, $4,000 per inside page; inside
cover. So, 3OO and back covers $500.
Circulation, journal. 1900. 900; Post,
100000.
These figures will doubtless prove
interesting to business men in gener-
al. and probably startling to those
merchants who timidly cIinch their
hands over the pennies in their peck
cts when they even think of such
thing as buying an inch of space in
their local paper.
To successful business men as
rule, however, there is nothing sur
prising in the apparently enormous
sums asked and received by the pub
LEGATIONS named for their space. Sue
cessful business men everywhere
nowadays know what advertising
space is worth Successful publish
ers all over the country also know
what their space is worth, demand it
and receive their price. The pub
fishers in general are fast coming to
realize that they have something to
sell which the public is bound to
have. that is very necessary COM
modify for those who wish-to do
business, something that has a cash
valuation
As the dignity and usefulness of
established and reputable advertis-
ing mediums become more widely
recognized. the demand for their
space naturally increases. and conse-
quently its value is enhanced. In
fact. advertisers these days are COM
ing to value advertising in propor-
ton as the advertising medium val
ues it, They are suspicious of the
paper or magazine whose rates are
so low as to hint of mill end sale. !"
They want something that is worth
something, and it is up to the pub
fishers to make their space fill that
demand.

Fort Worth has a fund of $4,000

The truth and justice of the views
expressed by the exchanges quoted
are apparent to close observers. The
commercial clubs are doing a splen-

and up-buiIding of their towns and
surrounding sections The part they
are accomplishing surely entities
them to the cordial and substantial
support of the communities whose
interests they serve, and, as these
very essential factors cannot exist
without such support, it is only the
part of wisdom for the business and
property interests everywhere to aid
them as literally as they can afford.
1t may be added truly that none
among the TEXAS commercial clubs is
making a better showing for its sec

the development of its section than
