Book No 37. The Negro Rate Book.
39 pages, copious charts.
Chicago: W.B. Ziff Co., 1939
[350/500]
The W. B. Ziff Company issued this little booklet for advertisers who wished to place material in
“Negro” publications. It provides the rates per line etc. Not simply restricted to newspapers, the listings
include “special groups” like the National Baptist Convention. Everyone from the Amsterdam News
to the Wyandot Echo are cited, with special packages grouping several publications together. A very
good research tool.
