YPE is the garment with which we clothe our thoughts; and clothing is a matter of importance. With type we inform the world that we have lemons, hay or cream puffs to sell; and certain publishers charge $126 per inch for space wherein to impart that information. Deduction: If it is worth $126 to fill with type one inch of one column, type is worthy of serious consideration, Since the days of Gutenberg the styles of type faces have been as varied and numerous as those of women’s hats. Twenty years ago, the display types were garish freaks, and the grotesque vied with the over-ornamented for supremacy. Then a wise typefounder brought from their hiding place the matrices that cast the type for Ben- jamin Franklin in 1728, and with the resurrection of the Caslon faces came the simp- ler, clean-cut types of the present day The evolution of display type is undoubtedly due to the experience of the ad- vertiser, who is devoting as much study to the mechanical construction of his advertising as he is to the writing of it. He has found that the plain, clear-cut let- ter is the one that catches the eye, and he is conserving his space for his text by re- ducing the size and number of his display lines The ad compositor of twenty-five years ago was trained to pack the type in the allotted space like sardines in a box; and he was ably assisted by the ad writer whose marks invanably called for two display lines to the inch, The advertiser of today frequently buys as much white space type s and his choice has un- doubtedly been determined by the results obtained from years of space buying. In some classes advertising—notably those of department stores, where a great num- ber of articles are presented, a crowded condition is inevitable, as is also true of ad- vertisements occupying small space. In such the display should be kept to the minimum; and, while the most difficult work in typography, a whole catalogue is frequently displayed with pleasing effect in a half-page advertisement. now as ace; cases, In every daily newspaper composing room are cases of display type which belong to different advertisers. Each advertiser has a distinctive type for his display. This is by no means a fad. It possesses a decided advertising merit. The daily appear ance of the advertiser’s name has its effect on the buying public; and the daily ap- pearance of that advertiser's exclusive display type, to a certain degree, exercises the same influence The close and intelligent co-operation of the ad writer, with his ever-increasing knowledge of typographical possibilities and limitations, the newspaper adman with his close acquaintance with his composing room and the ideas of the advertiser, and last but not the present-day ad comp trained to the minute in caleula- tion, speed and selection, have made poss ble ad construction that is marvelous from the standpoint of time and appearance. sitor, And with the advancement in management, system, speed—everything that spells service to the buyer of advertising, type has kept pace. With uniform alignment, ser- jated adaptability, freed from frills and furbelows, strong and clear cut, type today is giving its best service to the advertising world.
