D. & P. Pipe Works Write or Phone Sparta 15 I ,e t We Are Proud To Announce That THE ALLEGHANY NEWS Has Been Elected To Membership IN THE AUDIT BUREAU OF We are proud of our large circulation and our coverage of this community and county. Our acceptance for membership in the Audit Bureau of Circulations means that The News is one of tlfle few weekly newspapers of the nearly 10,000 in the nation that belong to the A. B. C. The A. B. C. is a national, co-operative organization of approximately 2,300 publishers, advertisers and advertis ing agencies which, for 30 years, have worked together in setting up and maintaining standards for measuring the circulation of newspapers and periodicals. The “Audit” in A. B. C. means exactly that: Once a year one of the Bureau’s skilled circulation auditors visits mem ber newspapers and makes an audit, or examination of that periodical’s circulation, just as a bank examiner inspects books and assets of the banks. The information thus ob tained is issued in A. B. C. reports, a specially printed report for each member and these reports tell how many subscrib ers a newspaper goes to, how many, if any are in arrears and where these readers live. In brief, membership in A. B. C. means to you, the ad vertiser, that you may know what you are buying when you purchase space in A. B. C. papers. There is no "claimed” circulation, publisher’s statement or estimated number of subscribers. A. B. C. circulation is VERIFIED, AUDITED circulation—facts you are entitled to know if you advertise. A. B. C. membership is to newspaper what “sterling” is to silver—a hallmark of circulation value, a dependable guide to the selection and use of newspapers for advertising. The News will be glad to furnish copies of the A. B. C. report to advertisers upon request. This is another definite proof of our appreciation for the patronage of our adver tisers and of our efforts to serve you and the community and county better and more effectively.
