Leadership in Advertising

In March, for the ninth consecutive
month, The Sun led all New York
evening newspapers in total volume
of advertising.
The Suns gain in advertising in
March, 1926 compared with
March, 1925), was 341,022 lines
"a greater gain than that of any
other New York newspaper, morn
ing, evening or Sunday-a greater
gain also than that of all other New
neutrality-suspicious. combined.
During the first quarter of 1926
advertisers placed 4,194,926 lines
of total advertising in The SUN
which exceeded by 360,036 lines
the volume of advertising placed in
the second New York evening
newspaper.
National Advertisers as we'll as Man.
haitian Department Stores have for
years used more space in The Sun
than in any other New York even
ing newspaper.

the prosperous, intelligent, responsive New
Workers Sun has greater appeal than any
other New York evening newspaper.
It is for this reason that manufacturers and mer-
chants have found profitable to advertise their
products in The Sun. It is for this reason that
advertisers use more space in The Sun than in
any other New York evening newspaper.

Growth in Circulation

The Suns net paid daily average
circulation for the six months
period ending March 81, 1926,
was 259,351.
This represents an increase of
,981 over the corresponding six
months of 1925.
What is most significant about this
circulation increase is that it is a
natural, steady, sound increase, won
purely on the merits of The Sun as
newspaper. 1t is in no way a
forced increase. 1t was not secured
through contests or prizes, or
through any series Of special articles
or through any other similar form
of promotion designed to swell
circulation.
The Suns circulation increase is
the kind that is most valuable to
advertisers, for it represents new
readers who, like the older ones, be-
lieve in The Sun and have conf
dence in the advertisements as we'll
as in the news it publishes.

America Has Peculiar
Transportation Problem

''If American cities are destined to
pass through some trying periods of
dissatisfaction with transportation
facilities. it is simply because the
American people have become very
hard to please on matters of trans
portation. Public utilities are alive
to the situation, and are making
every effort to meet it," states Carl
Parker manager of the bus division
of the REQ Motor Car company.
''The practically universal owner
ship of automobiles among the people
of the United States has made them
very intolerant of any transportation
medium that is not quickly avail
able when wanted. 1t is too easy to
step into the family car and be gone
to expect folks to wait very long for
a public vehicle.
Transportation men are today
making a closer study Of the situa-
ton than ever before, and are doing
clear thinking on the subject that
is very timely. The transportation
interests of the country have never
encountered a problem just like the
one that demands a solution now.
"The motor bus has already prov
ed that it will produce more revenue
in proportion to the investment than
any other form of transportation,
but certainly bus success or failure
depends upon the fitness of the
equipment purchased to the condi-
tions under which it is to be operated.
An actual case in point is the re-
cent experience of an operator who
purchased as large and high priced
buses as he could find. His idea was
fo n6I "a fIa =; ;e
to bus riding by the impressivenes
Of sheer size and expensiveness.
HE was soon willing to admit,
however, that his potential patrons
like the rank and file of Americans,
had out-lived the novelty of riding
in any kind of a propelled vehi-
Gle; that frequent service was the
only inducement that woulS wean
them away from their own cars.
His first move to correct matters
was the obvious-speeding up his
schedule to give the degree Of fire.
quency to render more readily avail
able service. This developed me-
chanical troubles in his equipment
however. The bus was not made to
travel at such sustained speeds, and
machinery and body suffered ac-
SOi
"Then it developed that passengers
disliked riding so rapidly in buses.
There Is one peculiar slant to hu-
man nature that bus operators can
not overlook. While nearly everyone
will drive fast when he has the wheel
himself most Of us are 'back-seat
drivers when riding in buses, and
are quite prone to criticize what we
consider bus drivers'~recklessnes
$50 the obvious conclusion is that
IL that operator had bought two
smaller, lighter buses for the same
amount of money he paid for each of
the larger ones, he could have pro-
vided acceptable service with no
unnecessary strain on his equipment
or the nerves of his passengers.
That has been the conclusion of
many operators working under ident-
ical conditions"

HeeZa Liar in
Police Court

By Erwin Greer president Greer

1t is perfectly legitimate to tell
a. little white lie to friend wife If
you think you can get away with
it. But do you? All, that is another
story.
But what bewilders me is that
the business man whose character
- abo ce reproach always lies to the
police judge when he is brought into
court for traffic violation. Why
doesn't he stop and figure that pol
ice Judge Is hearing lies day in and
day out and Is even more proficient
than the wife in detecting them.
My investigation. If it could be
called that, convinced me that nine
ty-nine per cent of the traffic VIOLA
tors brought into the police court lie
about their offenses. I hate to make
such a charge. but If you doubt me.
why, visit the police court yourself
and prove It.
What is it about a motor car that
hypnotizes men and women into tell
ing these lies? All of them are truth
full otherwise.
Men go fishing and tell about the
VhOpPCAS tAdI 6Ot away lIOiIl IilSIil.
They lie about their poker games
and their income tax. And. for the
same reason, though God knows what
it can be, they lie to the police Judge
and lie in such a way that every
body knows they are lying. Why
one can even see that the lie hurts
them.
Now ask you this question: Why
should the car owner be peeved II
another car passes him on the high
way? Answer that question and
you'll have the explanation Of why
a man lies in the police court.
Can a motorist. like Caesar, do no
wrong? Is it always the other fell
lows fault? And why-explain it
to me-is 1t that the smaller the fine
the bigger the lie? I've heard men
tell whoppers-enormous lies that
never could be believed just to escape
a little five dollar fine.
To prove the exception. In my in
vestigation / heard only one chap
tell the truth. Judge" he said,

Women Bank
Officials Increase

New York. Mar. 26 (AP)-Women
have moved logically into banking
as profession as six women bank
presidents in different parts of the
country today could testify, believes
Miss Nina Marie Bruere, secretary
of the Association of Bank Women.
"They are there naturally a re-
suit of the increased economic in
dependence of women and their in
creased need for drawing upon the
bank" said Miss Bruere. Although
1t has long been popular theory
that women are poor bankers-that
is, that they are foolish spenders-
yet statistics show that women in
reality are the great economists of
our country"

secretary of the Central Union Trust
