BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is a bona fide one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
Users, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstalds, which are re-
turnable. and which are in fact re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement Of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however.
Judge by results, and bogus circula-
lions don't give them.
The circulation of The Star is
many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper and is be-
lieved to be fully five times that Of
any afternoon contemporary.
