Saturday—for example: do you omit your advertising on this day? Do you realize that advertising on Saturday will stimu- late your Monday sales tremendously? THAT MARSHALL FIELD & CO. OF CHICAGO CANNOT BE SHOWN THAT THERE IS ANY OFF DAY IN ADVERTISING IS INDICATED BY THE FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT LETTER | | Advertising Bureau MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANY 121 NORTH STATE STREET rc CHICAGO June 12, 1919 itr. Victor Pe Lawson, Rhe Chicago Daily News. Dear Sirt~ As I recollect we are now in our 5th year for consistent Saturday night sdvertising. We were the . Ploneers among Chicago retailers in this move. We started with very small copy and with very little hope of success. Bone of ws really believed the advertising would carry over Sunday against the great Sunday payer competition. How however, We never pass & Saturday without generous repres- entation in the Evening pepers. We find that in spite of the decrease of the Daily News circulation on Saturday the results ve get on those items advertised are frequently greater than the same items advertised on an ordinary day, “nave no theory to expound regarding this Facts are enough for us. Phenomenon. - You are at liberty to use this letter in any way you see fit <= we rather enjoy canpetition. » Yours very truly, | MARS FIELD & C By A ° ng ir. 4 RAB; lJ rvks Strawbridge & Clothier of Philadelphia also use space in Saturday aft- a ernoon newspapers to increase Monday sales. ue Neither of these two great stores uses Sunday advertising at all. In The Seattle Star a large number of advertisers are represented in the Saturday editions. The heaviest volume of want ads, real estate, automobile, truck and accessory advertising appears on that day, as well as a remarkable volume of amusement advertising. This indicates a high degree of reader-interest for the Saturday Star. ; If Saturday afternoon advertising is highly profitable for department stores, as well as the other classifications of advertising mentioned, it will also be productive for the general advertiser. i: . Reconsider @he Saturday proposition. There are no “off days. Sched- ule at least one of your advertisements each week for the Saturday editions of The Star. tle Star The Seat THE SEATTLE Linden and the STAR—MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1920.

One, it was rumored, had been de- capitated, his head remaining in the wreckage. That several were not in- stantly killed was considered nothing short of a miracle.
