TitleList of advertisements throughout the International Settlement in May 1943
Year Start1943
DateWednesday 11 January 2017
Description

This table provides a list of advertising hoardings or stations throughout the Settlement, as required from major advertising agencies, tobacco and other companies by the Council in May 1943. This is actually the last attempt to inventoriate existing advertisements in Shanghai. The ultimate goal of that census may have been to revise the scale of fees based on the actual space covered by advertisements (in square feet), and to have an account of the remaining companies and advertisements in the International Settlement at the end of the period. 

This table is composed of two sheets:

  1. the first one provides a list of advertisements, mentioning their location, dimensions, advertising agencies, advertisers and/or brand name, etc.
  2. the second one provides a list of advertising agencies or companies responsible for those advertisements.

This table was established after the following archival materials:
