One Buying making the loan demands it. These audits instantly disclose the exact financial condition of the business. They show the true value of inventories and assets; costs of operation; profits and loss. Such an audit creates confi- dence and is considered a necessity in banking operations. The A. B. C. audit serves a similar purpose in advertising. A publisher or his representative in selling space presents his latest A. B. C. report. This shows quantity, territory of distribution, methods by which circulation was secured, and many other de- tails necessary for the intelligent purchase of advertising space. A study of the A. B.

For publishers to sell and advertisers to buy on the basis of A, B. C. reports is nothing more than putting efficient Business Methods into Advertising.
