Series VI. Marketing and Sales Files, 1967, circa 1986, inclusive

Extent

1.55 Linear feet in 1 record carton, 1 flat box

Scope and Contents

The Marketing and Sales Files consists of two binders. The "Facts of Life" binder contains memoranda and reports sent to Sam Wilson, a salesman, and includes data about circulation, audiences, subscribers, newsstand sales, advertising pages and revenues, rates, and production. These records seem to relate more to sales of the magazine rather than sales of advertising although it could be about ad sales. The materials in the binder have been rehoused in folders, and the binder cover retained separately.

The 1967 binder does not have a title, but includes information about Life's editorial aims and examples of the materials in Life. It looks like these were used to market the magazine.
