. . . the September 2005 issue of *Vogue*:

> For years, September has brought heavy issues of monthlies, traditionally women's fashion and beauty magazines like *Elle*, *Harper's Bazaar* and *Vogue*. More recently, other magazines are also producing ad-thick issues, in categories like men's lifestyle, health and fitness, shelter and travel. . .

> Marketers of products like apparel and cosmetics, which seek to reach consumers as the fall fashions begin to appear, have been joined by automakers, whose new-model years begin Oct. 1; retailers, hoping to stimulate demand ahead of the holiday season; sellers of products like sneakers and video games, sponsoring promotions tied to National Football League games; and marketers of children's merchandise, taking aim at parents as school starts. . .

> "We're having a very, very good year," said Thomas A. Florio, the publisher of *Vogue*, part of the Condé Nast Publications division of Advance Publications, "but I don't call it till it's over."

> *Vogue*, which usually runs more ad pages in September than any monthly, will do it again. The almost 691 ad pages the issue carries will break a record of nearly 651 ad pages, set last September.
