Number and density of advertisements per issue and per page in our usual five samples of the Shenbao (January 7, 1914; January 3, 1924; January 5, 1934; February 1, 1941; January 1, 1949). The blue color indicates minimal figures; the red color stands for maximal numbers.

This table has proved a useful tool for building the associate graphs (see "Graphs" section) tracing the evolution of the advertising population and density in the Shenbao between 1914-1949.
