heny, International Petroleum declin
ing from 18 to 17, Royal Dutch from
64 M to 64, Houston Oil from 71 to
71 and Merrltt Oil from 23 'i to 23.
There was little demand for the war
order group, Aetna Explosives dropping
from fiH to 54, and Submarine sold at
1H to 11.
United Mates Steamship was Influ
enced b the general belief that war
order cancellation must malte an Import
ant unfaorable change In Its business
outlook and was In supply all through
the morning, yielding from 2U to 44.

(PUBLISHED IN SPANISH)
With the deftness and surety of a mechanical
device will automatically separate the worth
while thousands from the worthless millions.
THE Spanish Vogue has attracted and holds the attention of the j
wealthiest and most discriminating individuals among Latin
America's millions. Through its advertising pages, Vogue
affords you the opportunity to address your message to these pos
sible purchasers, whose attention is already awakened and held by :
the magic of Vogue's editorial pages. i
Most Latin American periodicals have been made out of 10 editoip
ial inspiration and 90 desire for coveted advertising pages. TJbleJ
result has been that Latin Americans, uninterested, have refused TJb I
buy, and the publisher has been forced to give away his periodical;
instead or selling it. Not so Vogue.

The Story of The Spanish Vogue
THE American Vogue had actually achieved
a sale of 3000 copies in Latin America before
the thought ever occurred to us of establish
ing a Spanish Vogue as a separate magazine prop
erty and soliciting advertising for it.
The problem of distribution was not a simple one.
There was no central distributing agency. A force
of agents was impracticable. A cash-in-advance
basis was necessary. Thus, last June, we found
ourselves engaged in the rather hazardous task of
introducing a new property into fifteen different
countries with no more ambitious advance propa
ganda than a cirdular, which said :
"Vogue, beginning with the August issue, will be
published in Spanish. It will be sold to dealers on
a non-returnable basis at thirty-five cents per copy,
41

payable in American gold. Copies will be shipped
on receipt of this price in advance." jj
Notwithstanding this seemingly unfavorable ah'
proach, the sale of that first issue in Latin America
and Spain jumped from 3000 copies (Americin
Vogue) to 10,000 copies (Spanish Vogue) net paid
sale. j
Unquestionably, no periodical in the history 6
publishing has been successfully introduced intoia
new field, to a new audience, at so trivial an expen
diture of energy and money. u
We would gladly have spent many thousands of
dollars in Latin America for the services of some
local distributing agency, and for space in suitable
advertising media, could such have been found".
But the event proved that advance local publicity
was not necessary. Vogue had the magic ofrits
editorial pages. ,
Last Chance to Secure Spanish Vogue'
Introductory Rate
-OTWITHSTANDING the strongly indicated probability
or the success of our venture in Latin America, we
thought nerhans Latin America micrht he different from
the United States and Europe, and decided on a conservative
advertising rate.
But Latin America was not different. Our success there, even at
the moment, warrants a much higher rate, but we have de
cided to give all advertisers the opportunity of securing the
introductory rate throughout the year 1919, provided they use
