I imagine pages like this being directed at parents that would scrutinize comics before buying them for their kids. And I can see some of them being impressed by the credentials listed. I also recall that a lot of these types of actions by the publishers were attempts to prevent what later resulted in the whole Wertham-inspired troubles in the 50s and the formation of the Comics Code.
This site supports itself. Time and materials needed to bring you the laughs is a labor of love from me to you. However, there are a countless number of innocent souls out there who do need your support. Find your nearest Animal Rescue group with this link and dontate your time, money and love to them. Thanks!
