between the printers, for while ronc Of them
would desire to do the work, unless he
could rchlizo a profit, his wish to secure
the job himself, would induce him to offer
10 do II, at rs low Il price as should be con-
slstcnt with n reasonable profit. This uqui-
tnh'o arrangement was entered into, and
