The dynamic force of 100000
circulation is not the sole reason for
the dominance of The Saturday
Evening Post.
The structure of it's distribution is
an important factor.
The circulation system of the Post
is such that where trade is brisk,
there the Post is strong.
This is because the Post is sold,
not by magazine methods, but by
the methods of commercial mer-
chandising. 1t has not clung to the
traditional publishing method, which
is, in effect, turning the output over
to selling agent.
1t has developed an exclusive sales
organization.
The entire country is divided into
six, sales districts, each in charge of
sales managers responsible for it's
development These managers deal
with more than 100000 retail
outlets.
Half of these are subscription rep
resentatives. Subscriptions for the
Curtis publications are never bought
i'm bulk or obtained by premiums or
club offers. Each order, unless sent
in direct, is individually solicited by
Curtis canvasser. Thus the entire
subscription effort is directly con-
trolled and stimulated from the
home office.

The single-copy sales are even
more significant. These are made
through force of $4,000 local rep

direction of a wholesale force of

agent is i'm charge of small territory.
He reports direct to Philadelphia.

This sales system is parallel to that
by which any other nationally sold
product is marketed:
l. District sales manager
2. Salesman
g. Wholesaler
4. Retailer
1t searches out the potentialities of
each section, each city, each district,
even each street corner. 1t follows

Sioux City, Jan. 10.-Although re
ceipts of cattle today We're most toe
small to interest all the buyers, the
market was reasonably active at firm
figures in all branches. Movement
for the week to this market has been
fairly liberal, the total being approx
imately 10000 head. or an increase
over both last week and the same
time a year ago.
All grades of killing cattle have
met a broad call this week and
changes for the better have been the
result. In a general way. both steers
and she stuff are closing ON a TO-
25c higher level than a week ago.
while there has been some bulls and
stays.
A better country call injected life
into the demand for stockers and
feeders and closing quotations are re
ported fully 10415c higher. Dealers
report a very good clearance.
Arrival of heavy receipts at all the
leading centers caused a downturn in
the hog market. Loss locally figured
5610c in line with the decline noted
at other centers. Best strong weight
porkers landed as high as $6.T5,
while the bulk of the sales for the
day were at a spread of $685. 06.75.
Sheep house supplies the closing
day Of the week were limited and
prices showed no change as compared
with yesterday. For the week terms
are substantially better than those
ruling at the close of business the
previous week, advance on both
lambs and matured stock figuring 35
