The numbering of adverts is not unusual in comics, and allowed advertisers, and publishers to check progress of a 'job' and find/track the finished work.

But why is their a gap between GD 316-1505 and GD 326-1505? The GD, I guess is Gibbs Dentifrice and the 1505 appears regularly, but what does it mean? Could it be Gibbs code for the agency that gave Bellamy the work? Or is it likelier, it's the agency's number for Eagle comic (perhaps account number 1505?) And as for the sequential numbers, where are pre 311 and post 326?

Can anyone tell us anything about this?
