Cargo Magazine Sees Fast Growth

  • 1 min read

Men’s shopping magazine Cargo is upping its rate base to 350,000 for the February 2005 issue and will increase frequency from 6 to ten times per year in 2005. The magazine has achieved newsstand sales of 110,000 for the first two issues and has apparently hit on a market need. Ad pages are up too. The September issue carries 116 pages.

Personally, I thought this would be a flop but I picked up a copy of the September issue the other day and was sucked in. It had page after page of stuff that made me start drooling. And no, it wasn’t the iRiver or Paris Hilton Guess ads that did it. It’s got everything. Cars, clothes, phones, shoes, booze, vacuums, watches, gadgets, ladders, fishing poles and gaming stuff. Conde Nast might have a winner here.

There’s a particular kind of loneliness that belongs to men who did everything right – married well, worked hard, raised good children, showed up every single day – and still arrived at sixty-five with the quiet suspicion that nobody in their life has ever met the person who lives behind all that showing up

The toughest generation in modern history isn’t the one that talks about resilience on social media — it’s the boomers who bought houses on single incomes, raised families without parental leave, and rebuilt the economy from the ground up without asking for accommodations

I’m 70 and I just realized the reason I feel lonely isn’t because I’m alone — it’s because I’ve been surrounded by people my whole life who loved the role I played but never actually wanted to know the person underneath it

I’m 73 and I woke up at 3 AM last Thursday with a question I couldn’t put back to sleep – not ‘was I successful’ or ‘was I happy’ but something much simpler and much more frightening: was I kind enough, and did the people I love know it while it mattered?
