This set of three graphs shows offers three ways of measuring the rapid growth of the Millington, Ltd advertising agency shortly after its funding in 1927: first, by the doubling of the number of employees; second, by the doubling of the number of artists employed; last, by the number of the advertising boards erected in the streets of Shanghai.

These graphs have been made after reports of Millington annual general meeting published in the local press in July 1930 (Source: “Millington Limited Holds Annual General Meeting: Very Satisfactory Results”. China Press, July 1, 1930).
