Newspapers End 1910
With Advertising Gains
special Dispatch TO The Star.

Speclal DlSpatCn 10 Inc Stdr.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Retail mer-
chants placed a total of 1904 ,342 ,956
lines of display advertising in the
newspapers of 50 major cities dur
ing the 52-week period ended De-
cember %, for an increase Of a.
246,963 lines, or 81 per cent, over
the corresponding period of 1899,
according to a tabulation released
today by Advertising Age, national
advertising newspaper.
The 1910 total was 40,9Tl979 lines
greater than that for 1898, when
only 993 3,370,977 lines of retail dis
play were published in the news
papers of the same 80 cities. This
is an increase for 1910 over 1888 of
Al per cent.
Perhaps even more indicative of
the showing made by retail adver-
tising during the year is the record
for the last two weeks of the year
the pre-Christmas week, in which
lineage hit peak of 221 per cent
above the corresponding week of
1899, and the last week of the year,
when retailers placed 14.8 per cent
more advertising in the reporting
newspapers than during the last
week of last year.
These unusual gains indicate an
extraordinarily active holiday buy
ing peak at the end of the year,
Advertising Age asserts, and lend
credence to the belief that retail
activity is entering upon an acceler-
ated upswing, following the tre-
mendous upsurge in industrial pro-
duction occasioned by defense &C
tivities.
