Advertising Gains Forecast.
Advertising, upon which publishing
and allied businesses are essentially
dependent, should expand as con-
hdence returns and recovery broad
ems, according to new survey of the
advertising, publishing and printing
industries pust completed by Poor's
Publishing Co.
Recovery in newspaper, magazine
and radio advertising started in 1894"
the survey states. With the rate of
population growth slowing down and
competition for the consumers dol
lar getting keener, advertising ex-
penditures should continue to show an
excellent recovery.
Through the depression years, radio
advertising forged ahead with but one
comparatively slight recession in 1888.
In spite of the fact that radio during
the past few years has been taking an
increasingly large percentage of ad-
vertising appropriations, newspaper
advertising has held up to remark
able degree. 1t is significant that
newspapers during 1884 secured
about the same percentage of the total
national advertising expenditures as
In 1929.
Newspaper growth in the United
States has been spectacular from
six newspapers in 1785 to 14,09l at
the present time. Advertising ex-
penditures jumped from zero in 1785
to a peak of approximately $780,
100000 in 1929"
