Advertising Still Delivers for Newspapers in Recovery Period
A recent American Newspaper Publishers Association survey shows advertisers, especially tobacco and auto makers, gaining in newspaper space and earnings. An electric refrigerator maker spent $200,000 in papers and boosted profits by 460 percent. Overall tobacco ad outlays rose from 1930 to 1931 while earnings grew, though some firms cut ads and profits fell. Public spending and confidence are rising as buyers anticipate higher prices with renewed prosperity.
