CHICAGO, April 12.-The volume
of advertising placed by retailers in
the newspapers of II major cities this
year through April was l70e7,p4
lines greater than that placed in the
same cities during the corresponding
period of 1886, Advertising Age re-
ported today.
Total retail advertising volume in
those cities during that period was
259 9,907,229 lines, compared with 242,-
809,280 lines last year, a gain Of H.
097,949 lines, or per cent.
For the seven-day period ended
April 3 retail display advertising in
the measured cities totaled 20,957,678
lines, against 22,6O5 ,SO8 lines IN the
comparable week of last year. q loss
Of l,648l30 lines, or 7.3 per cent.
This loss was to be expected, the
advertising publication says, because
Casters early arrival this year already
has shown its effect on retail trade,
whereas it will be two weeks before
1887 passes the comparable period IN
which Easter fell last year.
