BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-

1t IS easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-

users, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstands, 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,
