So it was with Cyrus Curtis. The publishing world prophesied bankruptcy, but he footed his extravagant bills with a stout faith. Aim- ing at a feminine clientele, one of his first and most telling moves was to follow the advice of his agents, N. W. Ayer & Son, and take large space in "The Delin- eator," which, with a circulation of half a million monthly even then, was spread- ing broadcast fashions to exploit its paper patterns. This counsel was disinterested, for the usual commission given ad...vertis- ing agents was denied, but it would have been cheap at any price.
