The Tribune does not ask the adver- tiser to take its word for this circu- lation. It employs the Audit Bureau of Circulation to check over its circulation and file sworn state ments on the subject. Tho A. B. C., as every big advertiser knows, is an absolute protection to advertis- ing investments. It {s tho gilt- edged security of newspaper adver- tising. Its statements are in the offices of every big advertising agency, and every big nationally known business concern in the country. The advertiser who wants to know what he is buying, who doe not invest money in some- thing “sight unseen”, demands A. B. C. protection. The Tribune is giving Just about DOUBLE the return to its adver- tisers that it was when the present publisher took over the paper. The Tribune treats all its advertisers alike—as fairly and as courteously as possible. It has one rate for all. If you buy space in the Tribune, you know that your competitor ust pay the same price for that space that you pay. He doesn't get it for less. Tho Tribune has no “catch-as-catch-can” advertising policy. Its rates are uniform, guar- anteeing justice to all.
