In all lines there has been a growing tendency to
ward simplicity.
The newspaper business was once pretty widely
considered a thing of mystery. How it acquired and
produced its news—how it was set in type and printed
were mysteries that the general public was willing to
have remain without explanation.
When advertising began to grow into something
of importance, the more shrewd buyers of space be
came inquisitive about circulation of the newspapers
in which they invested their money. Before that stage
of progress had been reached, publishers assumed the
position that the subject of circulation was a private,
inviolate matter.
There can be no mystery or misunderstanding
about the circulation of a newspaper which is an A.
B. C. member. For that matter, there is every reason
why circulation facts should he available at all times
to merchants and manufacturers.
Circulation is every advertiser’s business, for the
reason that everybody is entitled to know just what he
gets for what he pays. The annual audit report of an
A, B. C. newspaper makes the subject of circulation
simple and understandable.
Men who invest millions of dollars in newspaper
advertising every year are responsible for the strict
conditions that govern a newspaper’s membership in
the A. B. C. They know—they MUST know—what
constitutes good circulation and proper circulation
methods.
It’s annual audit report—a copy which will gladly
be supplied—shows exactly how—circulation meas
ures up.
