The Audit Bureau of Circulations, a natlonal organization of which the New Britain Herald is a member, recog- nizes this fact and has organized an iron bound association with the sole aim of giving the advertiser a fair and square statement of circulation claims of the newspaper in question. The Herald advertises 14,000 copies are printed and distributed daily, and stands ready to throw open the circulation lmoks to sub- staniate this fact. Audit Bureau of Circulations auditors come to the Herald every year and go over the circulation books. The Herald respectfully calls the attention of the local advertisers to the circulation of this paper, over 14,000 printed and distributed daily, and knows well that it is the right of the advertiser to know the facts before placing an ad in any newspaper. The Herald has more than three times the circulation of any newspaper published in its territory.
