epend a fortnight in the Windy City visit-
ing other relatives and friends, also nt the
Century of Propress. Billy Lee Garner, Jr.,
of Fort Worth, is here visiting his grand-
mother, Mrs. E. J. Fields and he will accom-
pany her on her summer vacation either in
Washington, D. C. or California. A quiet
wedding took place Tuesday evening, July 7,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Atkinson,
Lorenzo Secrett and Miss Thelma Atkinson
being the contracting parties. She is one
of the efficient and popular young teachers
in the East End High School, but has given
up the position to embark upon the sea of
matrimony. Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson reared
a family of three girls, all being active
teachers, and ona son, Dr. J. D. Atkinson,
who is a popular dentist. There was a day
of continued praise at Main street Baptist
Church. Sunday school opened at 9:80 a. m.
with superintendent W. E. Williams at his
post. The attendance was larger than usual,
due to the fact that there was campaign to
get all to attend Sunday school, young and
old, that could attend. Promptly at 11 o’clock
Rev. R. L. Williams, the pastor, preached
a wonderful soul reviving sermon and at 8:80
the city union mission sisters of the various
churches met and went into service and
that is where the real “Happification" took
plaoe with songs and praise. It seems that
everyone had caught on hallowed fire. After
the routine business of the the Union, Rev.
J. L. Harris, pastor of Mt. Rose Baptist
Church, preached a short sermon as he had
/ never preached before and all eyes were dim-
med with tears, but the song service that
followed by the congregation seemed as the
Day of Pentecost and everybody stood up
and spoke words of praise unto the Lord.
Mrs. L. L. Williams is confined to her home
suffering partial paralysis. Mr. and Mrs.
John Parrish and Mrs. Rosie Hopkins have
returned from Corpus Christi where they
went on a one week’s fishing trip and re-
ported a good catch of the members of , the

• "The A. B. C. presents a spectacle of buyer
and seller working together to establish equity,
truth and efficiency—a great contribution to
business and civilization. The keeping of the
accurate records which the audits made nec-
essary, has been an immense contribution to-
ward greater efficiency in our own business.
The service rendered by the Bureau would be
well worth all it costs even if the audit was
never shown outside the publishers' offices.”
• “The Audit Bureau of Circulations has been
the strong ally of the progressive business
paper publisher in establishing better standards
of value for the advertiser. The Associated
- Business Papers has recognized this from ths
start of the A. B. C. For some years now it has
been a mandatory requirement for member-
ship in the Associated Business Papon that the
publication also belong to the Audit Bureau.”

service so potent that it alone, he
believes, is worth all the considerable
sums he pays to the Bureau.

ness and agricultural press, in com-
mon with publishers of magazines and
newspapers, find so valuable in this
self-regulatory force in the vast and
complex field of advertising space?
Basically, they realize the tribute of
confidence—justified by results—which
has come to advertising through the
work of the Audit Bureau. Business

what its dollar buys in circulation,
thanks to the A. B. C.
But Senator Capper refers above to
another value in the Bureau—a con-
tribution to publishing which many
within the business will recognize. Be-
cause the A. B. C. needed the whole
truth about circulations, publishers
came to keep records that laid bare the
complete picture. This was valuable
to the advertiser.
