Today it has a membership L T of 1,800. The purpose of the bureau is to make fair and impar- tial audits of circulation records and it is now accepted as the Standard Authority among space buyers throughout the United States and Canada. In case the advertiser questioned the fisures he might possibly go to the newspaper office and look over the circulation records with his own auditors, But neither he nor his auditors know the intrica- cies of newspaper circulation rec- ords or the possibilities for jug- gling figures. Every Publisher-Member of the \Bureau is required to make semi- annual statements setting forth the actual net paid circulation, Once a year the Bureau sends an auditor to the office of each pub- lisher to check and if necessary correct his circulation statements. Circulation differences and argu- ments caused bitter battles be- tween many newspapers. Ingen- jous schemes were used by un- scrupulous publishers to put up the appearance of a larger circulation than they had. The prevalence of these practices brought out the necessity for a reputable agency to audit and report on circulation matters.
