latest certificate of the circulation of the "Auckland Star" t * IV en below. Two leading firms nf auditors vouch for the accuracy of L.feures. The total of upwards of i 8 000 is an advance of two thousand b r n'the certificate that was published some months ago. This is more than three times the net paid sales of any audited evening newspaper circulation in.' New Zealand if the " Evening Post" Wellington, be excluded.

>'As a result of a little extra activity on the part of distributors in town m. country .during the months of May June and July, ■ there was an increase in net sales for that limited rjmoS. of'over 1200. That means an addition of 100 new subscribers every Tveerobtaincd under conditions of active opposition. This figure is also jjuafantced by the auditors.

The steady expansion of the "Star" is a wonderful tribute to the service that the newspaper renders in the community, and the appreciation of its readers of the paper's iicws services and features. The "Auckland Star" is not only New. Zealand's' largest and brightest newspaper, but also its best produced daily.- It is first and foremost a home'journal, and there are very few houses within twenty miles of the city's centre where the paper is not read "from first to last page by all the occupants, whether young or old. Its catholicity of appeal ensures its popularity with all classes, creeds and ajei. 'Q \• •; . .. > Appended are the two certificates of circulation mentioned above. MAY, JUNE AND JULY.
