the silver forces, was asked today about

The Essential Point.

Shrewd and successful adver-
tisers know that a bogus, fake
circulation, given away or sold
at a nominal figure and predes-
tined to the gutter, ash pile and
garbage dump, does not bring
results.
Advertisers pay for profitable
results and to get them they
know that a home circulation is
essential. That's why the ad-
vertising columns of The Star

a stroll through the Capitol grounds, hoping
to run across some one who would give him
