Well it might be, for the advertiser wants to know how many people will read his ad in order that he might estimate just what the proportions in his turn over in stock will be. The New Britain Herald has a circulation of over 14,000 and the circulation department is willing to prove this fact. The number of Heralds sold daily is rapidly ap- proaching the 15,000 goal which is a testimonial to its standing in the community. The Herald is doing every- thing possible to increase reader interest by printing the news of the city, state, United States, and the world, and the rapid increase in circulation is a testimonial to the fact that this endeavor is appreciated. The New Britain Herald is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, a national group of trained news- paper circulation auditors whose business in life is to check up on circulations of newspaper that belong to this organization. Advertisers all over the country ask first, if the paper they are thinking of placing an advertisement in is a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, for they know that there can be no equivocation by an A.B.C. newspaper. In short, they know what they are getting, and in the case of the New Britain Herald, they are get- ting over 14,000 printed and distributed daily.
