ers of aiheitisements. The uilvertls-
UiL' craze has grown of lute to sucu
huge and unlovely proportions that any
brief account falls to explain Its work
ings. The oillce of a largo advertising
concern Is one of the busiest places Iu
town. Artists are constantly appear
in" with designs for the firm, a small
army of men with paint pots and brush
es are hovering about waiting to be
sent out. nnd everywhere are gay evi
dences of the results of all this labor.
'Who are the men that paint these
heroic' pictures one sees on unused
walls and lofty fences?" asked a re
porter of one of tho men who keeps
these subordinates busy.
They nre not the people you think
them, 1 fancy," was the answer, "in
stead of being daubers, with about tho
iblllty necessary to wield a whitewash
brush, our best men nre real artists.
lty this 1 mean that many of them
have had years of training In drawing
ami color work. Several of them liuvo
studied abroad In the ateliers of well
known men. A man whom I saw paint-
lug a head on a wall yesterday Is n
nlglit Instructor In a Hrooklyn art
school. Iteccutly one of our men paint-
d mi 11 large wall the biggest portrait
ever attempted. He had studied live
years In the Paris art schools.'
Why do they take up this work?"
The other doesn't pay. It's u caso
of 'commercialism In art.' They find
thai they can't make the real thing
pay, so tliey come to tins common
calling. There's money In It. Why,
mi- star pointers get y.'iO a week. The
l.iuliers, who put In backgrounds,
hm'i cam more than $10 or $15 n
w eek "
The men who paint the designs In
various Inaccessible and conspicuous
plans have with them small copies
of the designs to be reproduced. Long
experience makes them expert In ac
curately tracing the deslgu upon the
chosen surface. Although the familiar
udvertlscmeuts scattered over the city
seem exactly alike and one face seems
the exact eouuteipart of another, yet
closer inspection will show various
points of difference. In the cuse of a
ry familiar picture which is display
from one end of the United .States
to the other, when It was llrst brought
out one man was hired for thu sole
purpose of painting that onu deslgu,
ami to do this he traveled from Maine
to California.
"Not the least of our dlUlcultles,"
said the advertising man, "Is llndlug
places to put our signs. We hire tneu
who do nothing else but go about uud
obtain permission from owners to put
up billboards 011 their premises, use
n vacant wall or decorate n fenco or a
roof. It needs great tact to do this.
When there nre objections, they must
be overcome, ami after this Is done
the owner often gets thu Idea that his
available space Is worth thousands of
dollars to us and to hlm. Tho expe
riences of advertising men among
fanners nnd tramps would make a
mighty Interesting book."
"Why do you say tramps?"
"Gh, the tramps nre our worst ene
mies. They build Ores behind our
billboards and burn them or else tear
them down out of sheer wantouiiess."
When asked about tho price a blank
bilck wall In a conspicuous part of
New York would bring to Its owner if
lie let lt for advertising purposes, the
advertising man laughed and said he
could not tell that, but he did not mind
saying that ho was now paying $0,000
11 j ear rent for u wall In the middle of
the shopping district, "This Is not an
unusual sum to pay," he added, "for
such prominent positions."
