A. 33.00 per year Foreign Rate 33.50 per year Advertising Rates on application PROTECTION FOR ADVERTISERS The :Wingliam Advance-Times has frequently referr- ed to its membership in the Audit Bureau of Circulations., but seldom has it paused to explain the interesting history and importance of this association of 3,370 advertisers, advertising agencies and publishers, This Bureau, although not widely known to the gener- al public, is recognized by authorities on the progress of American business as haying played a major part in the growth and success of modern merchandising. Like many other things, A.B.C. was born out of neces- sity at a time when publishers of newspapers and period- icals had no generally accepted or standardized means of telling advertisers about their circulation, There were no standards fur circulation values. Likewise, there was no standard method of accounting for or auditing the circulation that publishers claimed The honest publisher ‘N ht) LairaCil :"( Qui.) was at a distinct disadvantage in meeting the claims of a competitor who might claim Tz''.,0t..q but actually have only 25,000. In addition to audited figures the advertisers began to ask fur more information concerning circulations. Who reads the publication? 1,V here does it go ? How much do people pa v fur it ? The answers to these and other questions of course, have an important bearing on the publication's value to advertisers. Recognizing the mutual need for dependable facts and figures on circulation, a group of publishers and advertis- ing- men in 1914 formed a co-operative association which they called the Audit Bureau of Circulations. As a basis for common understanding and trust, this group encourag- ing participants to establish a definition for paid circula- tion and to cre.ate a common set of circulation standards for use in relations between the buyers and sellers of ad- vertising. The Bureau has a staff of experienced auditors who make a periodic audit of the circulation records of each publisher member. The reports which are based on these audits are then available to advertisers so they can buy space in newspapers and periodicals on the basis of defin- ite standards and known values. How has this assbciation contributed to the growth of Canadian business? The Bureau has, for example provided a method for manufacturers to invest advertising money on the basis of facts, virtually eliminating the need for speculation in buying advertising space. Consequently, gdyertising has been more .eff ectiye, sales have increased, production schedules were enlarged. Larger production enables producers to operate at reduced unit costs, passing the savings along to the consumer. Larger production also provides more employment. There is no place for waste or guesswork in modern business. This applies to the purchase of advertising- as well as it does to raw materials and,finished merchandise. In the case of merchants and other local advertisers it is just as important that they, too, use a definite meas- ure of values when they buy advertising. They buy and sell merchandise by well-known measures of weight, quality, color, etc., and now A.B.C. has made it possible for thetn to make. their investments in newspaper advertising by means of equally accurate and verified information. A co-operative and non-profit association, the Bureau is an outstanding example of self-government in industry. Its work is directly and. mutually beneficial to consumers, merchants, national advertisers and publishers. The Advance-Times welcomes any inquiry by adver- tisers concerning its circulation. Its circulation facts are made available to any interested advertiser through its A.B.C. Audit Reports. * IMPROVE OUR ENTRANCES It would be to our advantage to do some landscaping on our southern entrance where Highway No. 4 enters Wingham from 1 ,ondon. At present the bare appearance of this entrance gives a very poor impression to visitors, trav- ellers and residents alike. Wingham is a very pretty town and front a distance the trees and buildings create a very eye-pleasing effect which is ruined by this naked approach from the south. We would suggest that trees and shrubbery be planted along the highway for a quarter of a mile or so. Also the erect- ion of some sort of ornamental and practical guard rail is vital. At present, on this stretch of road, there is some danger of running over the side of„the high bank, especial- ly to someone not familiar with the road. A great deal of our traffic collies in over this road and Tirst impressions are very important, particularly if some- one is considering living here or doing business in our town. The same could be said for the highway 86 eastern entrance and the northern entrance over Highway No. 4. There have been a great many accidents at the MciKenzie bridge entrance to Wingham and it is time that this stftle- tre was. replaced or altered. There is a natural beauty about this country and. a little assistance to nature will cover-up our man-made structures and wouldn't be far amiss. Perhaps one or both of the service clubs or some other civic body would be interested in sponsoring this project. There would be little expense involved in comparison to. the results obtained and Wingham would certainly give a more pleasing impression to both visitors and residents, Finger' Tip Implements with One and Only Ferguson System .,, Ferguson System Implements gain their great efficiency in operation because of the Ferguson System of Implement Linkage and hydrifulk Control.
