Addison Archer releases a pamphlet detailing investigations into the circulation and advertising strength of Boston daily newspapers. Interviews with prominent Boston advertisers precede his own critical study of the papers, highlighting two papers including the Boston Post.
The Boston Post claims 129,563 daily and about 114,326 Sunday readers in 1898, with heavy Boston-area reach. Addison Archer questions the figures, notes 50,000 copies to Hotels and Railroad News, and examines Grozier's leadership, finances, and the paper's appeal to rich and middle-class readers, including the 15,000 women who wrote requesting patterns and menus.
Leading Boston advertisers evaluate the Boston Post as a powerful daily and Sunday medium. They cite strong morning readership on trains and in cars, broad city circulation, and high returns for campaigns tied to bargains and reliability.
