Sales quotas may be measured BY Curtis Cnculati
more accurately than BY population figures

In some communities larger percentage
offamilies have the intelligence and means
to express conscious choice of merchan-
disc than in other communities How,
then, can the buying power of commu-
nifty be Judged?
Curtis Circulation enables a manufac-
turer to measure the varying buying
power of communities.
Where Curtis Circulation is high in pro-
portion to population, manufacturer of
good merchandise is likely to find sur
plus sales opportunity, and where Curtis
Circulation is low in proportion to popu-
lation, it is fair indication that the COM
munity is subnormal in it's purchasing
power.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1922-04-10

For Curtis Circulation has been obtained
by vast sales organization which has
sought out in every city and county those
who are able and willing to buy Curtis
Publications for their quality without
price concession of any kind
A community with a high percentage
OF Curtis Circulation furnishes a mar
ket which yields to aggressive selling,
while one which appears subnorn1al in
Curtis Circulation lacks initiative in
buying.
