Corporate DS/IM/89 Isle of Man; Isle of Man Board of Advertising; 1904-1931 Isle of Man Board of Advertising Isle of Man 1904-1931 The Isle of Man Board of Advertising can trace its origins back to the recommendations of a Tynwald Committee appointed in July 1893. The Tynwald Committee report recommended that 'steps should be taken with a view to prolonging the visiting season in this Island ' and promoting the Island 'as a pleasure and health resort'. The Advertising Rate Act, 1894 empowered a Committee of nine persons to raise monies via the levying of a rate for the ongoing promotion of the Island. 5 Committee members were appointed by Tynwald Court and the remainder by the Town Commissioners on a triennial basis. From 1897 this Committee began to operate under the formal title of the 'Advertising Committee'. In 1904 amending legislation saw the transferral of the Advertising Committee's core functions to the newly established Board of Advertising. The Board of Advertising comprised 13 members, with 7 being appointed by Tynwald Court and the remainder by the Island's Local Authorities (again, on a triennial basis). In 1931, the Board of Advertising functions were transferred to the Isle of Man Publicity Board.
