full length 7 column color ad
Explanation:
This indicates different sizes of the ad in question. In case of Japanese language newspaper, this 「全」means full page wide (left to right) ads, and full-length (top to bottom) for English language newspapers. The n-段 would be n-rows (?) in Japanese newspapers (15段 is the full-length) For English language newspaper, however, that would be n-columns(7段 is the full page width). カラー means ads in color (as against black and white)
