Of old, the

made things known.
To do this he rang his bell at certain points where he could be sure of the biggest crowds. The difference between then and to-day is that, circulation was indicated by the number of listeners: the advertiser of 1936 can only gauge the field his message covers by the num- ber of newspaper readers.
Hence the reason for Chartered Accountants' Certificates of Newspaper Sales.
However much advertising may be discussed, the indisputable fact remains that newspapers must be the first charge on the advertising schedule.
The South China Morning Post and The Hong- kong Telegraph give the widest possible certified coverage.
