Where the July “Life and Health” Went
The following list shows the circulation, by States and countries, of the July number of Life and Health. The circulation for May and June are also given, as also the comparative standings of the States for June. The entire May edition (forty thousand copies) was exhausted May 6. The June edition (sixty thousand copies) was sold by June 6. The July edition (eighty thousand copies) was disposed of by July 15. What share did your State have in the sale of this excellent magazine during the three months indicated? It is gratifying to note that the July circulation shows a substantial gain in twenty-six of the States, over the splendid showing for June. The other twenty-five States either held their own or showed a slight loss. The twenty-six States that showed a gain circulated 47,620 copies of the July number as compared with 30,087 copies of the June issue, a gain of 17,533 copies, or an average gain of 675 copies for each State. In these lists are included the regular subscribers and the number of copies sold by agents in each State. Agents from one State often sell thousands of copies in an adjoining State. | STATES |
