You can't Judge the value
OF a newspaper as an adj
vertising medium solely
by the number Of pages
it prints. The newspa-
per with the m ost
pages is, more often
than not, the newspaper
with the smallest cir
culation.
Nowadays. people
like to have the News of
the Day served briskly
and crisply. They want
to find all the news in
their newspaper, b u t
they don't want to wade
through a lot of bluff to
get at the real meat.
Nowadays the adver-
tiser doesn't accept the
average circulation state
ment without doing a
little probing on his own
account. The returns
he gets from his adver-
tisements tell him all he
wants to know about cir
culation.
