CIRCULATION CLAIMS
Don't pay your good money for the circu

same claims can be "metered" into proven
facts. Every automobile salesman claims his
car is the best, but watch them climb the hills.
Every newspaper salesman claims his circula

The burden of proof in such a case should be
on the newspaper making, or allowing its
representative to make, such a claim. The
Star's Circulation is accurately "metered."
The Star welcomes the opportunity to prove
to any merchant or reputable committee in
Seattle that its actual paid circulation is
In Excess of 40,000 Daily'
