Subtract-
But
A. B. C.
Never Multiplies
Advertising is a many-unit purchase. You buy one ad­
vertisement in a newspaper but, in reality, you buy that ad­
vertisement its many times as the number of homes in which
the newspaper is read.
How many families will be reached by my advertising
message?” has always been the factor which determines the
value and effectiveness of advertising. Before the Audit
Bureau of Circulations (A. B. C.) was founded, many pub­
lishers could multiply faster, when speaking of their circu­
lations, than their circulation departments could function.
Of course their advertising rates were based on these ficti­
tious circulations.
As was to be expected, advertisers who were thus pay­
ing an enormous premium for their advertising space set up
an ultimatum to the effect that the proper place for the
multiplication table was in the classroom, or for strictly
mathematical problems, and not to be used when submitting
circulation statements.
When the Audit Bureau of Circulations inspects and <* IU-
dits a newspaper member’s circulation, as it does every
year, it will throw out-two copies of doubtful circulation as
readily as it will subtract 20,000 copies that do not conform
to strict A. B. C. requirements. Mere press runs mean noth­
ing to an A. B. C. auditor. Only the copies of a newspaper
that are legitimately ordered and paid for by readers them­
selves are credited as authentic circulation. Quantity loca­
tion and methods of circulation are explained in detail hv
the A. B. C. audit.
