To Large and Small Advertisers
You will naturally be deeply interested in The Bee's circulation growth, for, as has often been
said, "there is no substitute for circulation," especially for the kind that reaches good homes
and brings results for the advertiser. Concentration of advertising means merely restricting
the business of the advertiser. The Bee's growing circulation is the best opportunity for the
growing business.

Re Morning and Evening Circulations
It is misleading for a paper which actually circulates
an edition to readers in the morning to call the
circulation of such edition "evening" circulation.'
Obviously circulation is "evening" "circulation 'only
when it is'DELIVERED TO READERS ' inf the
evening. . ' .
The Bee prints both morning and evening editions to
best serve the reader with THE LATEST news. The
circulations of evening and morning issues are always
properly divided, "and The Bee 'makes no effort
to classify morning circulation as evening, or
vice versa.
