1t was written for Indiana but il
just as good for Iowa: "The public

one or the other will sponge.
They forget that printers ink
makes them nine-tenths of their i'm.
mense fortunes. They forget it takes
money TO pay compositors, to buy
ink, type. and paper, and lastly.
they even forget to thank you for
