departments were more efficient than
those of the daily newspapers, there
was less waste effort, AMI the argu-
ments presented to prospective ad-
vertisers were we'll thought out and
appealed to business men.
During the last three years the
newspaper publishers have had an
awakening. They have discovered
the weakness of their methods and
arguments of solicitation. They have
realized that the representatives they
have employed have not always been
of the type that make the best i'm
preston on business men. They have
found among them a woeful lack of
knowledge concerning the basic prin-
ciples of advertising.
And so the newspaper publishers
profited by the example set by the
magazine publishers, They have EN-
ployed a higher grade of men, they
have insisted that their representa-
tives should know what they are
selling and able to present intelligent
reasons for the supremacy of news
paper advertising. AS a result news
paper advertising is on a finer found
alton than ever before, its volhme
is far greater and the results So
cured are most satisfactory because
of the general improvement in the
character of the advertisements car
ried. The entire tone of the husi-
ness has been elevated, the public
has more confidence in the announce
ments of merchants and manufactu-
rers and better day for newspaper
publishers has dawned.-The EdtCT

MAGAZINES LOSING
GRIP Of PUBLIC
NEWSPAPERS ARE GAINING IN
EVERY ESPECT-ADvERT
is INCREASING.

That the magazine is losing its
grip on the public, is the admission
made by Mr.. Munsey in an editorial
in the last number of his monthly.
AS Mr.. Munsey is regarded as one OF
the most successful, if not the most
successful, of American magazine
publishers, this statement may be
accepted as absolutely true. Lord
Northcliffe, one of the foremost pub
fishers of Great Britain, recently said
that the magazine had had its day
and that the newspaper would even
tually supplant it.
We agrte with Mr.. Munsey but
disagree W ith Lord Northcliffe. The
magazine may be losing its grip, but
we do not imagine that the men who
have millions invested in the bust
ness, and who are resourceful and
good fighters, are going TO quit the
game because of temporary loss OF
business. The magazines have field
all their own, and the closer their
publishers stick to that field and the
less they try to compete with the
newspapers in the class of matter
they print the better they are going
to succeed.
We look to the magazines for
articles that have no place in the
daily newspaper, but which, never
theless, are of signal importance TO
men and women of culture and edu-
cation. 1t would be difficult to imag-
inc that the time will ever come
when there will be 40 Century Mag
azine, no Worlds Work, No Atlantic
Monthly, no North American Review
or publications corresponding to
them.
The advertising success of the
magazines in the past decade has
been due to their superb business
organization, the employment of ca
pable and high class solicitors and
magazine managers, and their enter
prise. As a class their advertising
