THE EXACT newspaper situation in New Yerk merits the closest scrutiny en the part of every advertiser who plans te enter this rich territory and hopes te invade it successfully. Especially is this true of the morning and Sunday field, which may be broadly summarized as fellows : First Eleven Months of 1922 The "field" includes the sercn morn ing and Sunday papers of the city) Morning and Sunday Weekday Only Sunday Only The Field Gained 8.0 9.5 5.7 The World Gained 18 23 12.3 Reduced te its simplest terms, The World, morning and Sunday, has ever a period of eleven months maintained gains approximately 135 in excess of the prevailing ratio of gains in its respective fields. During this period The World gained a grand total of 2,51 3,770 lines of advertising. This figure alone is impressive, in that it is a gain of 18.8 ever the corresponding; period last yea. an excess of 229,053 lines ever the eleven months' gain of its nearest competitor. 46.2 of the combined gains of the seven morn ing and Sunday newspapers of the city. 31.9 of the combined gains of the fourteen morning, Sunday and evening papers of the city. November was the seventh consecutive month that The World led the entire newspaper field of Greater New Yerk in the volume of its adver tising gains. The World's gain in National Advertising aggregated 555,308 lines, an increase of 32.8 ever the corresponding period of 1921. Of this gain, 231,414 lines are attributable te The Sunday World, the 31 increase of which is by far the largest ratio of gain in National Adver tising in the Sunday field. msSe. .-d&SSSSK QhcWMM lif.r l if"! r 1 ' W 1!s- Send for This Boek TN THIS exhaustive survey of the New Yerk market, the Merchandis ing Department of THE WORLD has accurately charted for the guidance el the advertiser the greatest rea et retail Bales in Amerk. ret only is the entire mercantile structure of the greater city described in detail, but the vitv's system of retail distribution i laid before the reader with a degree of thoroughness never heretofore attempted in work of this nature. Complete route uuru ie included ter the seventy-three buying centres of the city, together with .1 caicful census of retail establishment. Copies of "Merchandising America' Greatest Retail Market" will be senr iree te advertisers and agents upon request, cither from any of THIS WORLD'S Branch Offices, or direct from the Advertising Department Roem 20S Pulitzer Building ew Yerk City The World Gravure likewise led its field in ratio of increase, with a gain of 40 ever last year and with a larger volume of business than during any ether corresponding period since its establishment. The Evening World gained nearly 140,000 lines in National Advertising alone, an increase of 11 ever 1921. In Dry Goods Advertising, a true barometer of a newspaper's real value as an advertising medium, in se tar as it constitutes a composite picture of the combined judgment of the city's foremost merchants, The World and The Evening World carried mere lineage, by a comfortable margin, than any ether two paper combination in the city under a single ownership. This tendency en the part of the department stores of New Yerk te accord The World full credit as their most powerful ally in the distribution of merchandise is best expressed in a comparison of Dry Goods Ad vertising between The Sunday World and the Sunday "Times." The letter's lead of 14,870 lines ever The World during the first eleven months of 1921 has been transformed into a World lead of 98,434 lines this year, indicating a swing of 113,304 lines in favor of The World. That this is a tendency of the present rather than of the past is evidenced by The World's November gain of 8.654 lines of Sunday Dry Goods Advertising against a Times' less of 18,454 in the same classification. There are limitless possibilities awaiting the advertiser who undertakes te cultivate the New Yerk field intensively. The New Year's building program calls for the expenditure of $650,000 000. This month 261,000 members of Christmas Clubs drew out of sixty -seven banks of the city $13,486, 000 as their holiday pin-money. Large as it is, tins sum represents but a small fraction of the enormous expenditures that pour through the city's 121,000 retailers at this season of the year. t is significant that from a careful canvass of a large group of them, it was found that about 65 et the city's retailers were World readers. 0i) it!!! mmm qetzer building MW YORK MALLERS BUILDING CHICAGO a aa ;v FORD BUILDING DETROIT MARKET and THIRD STS.
