Quite every respectable family in the city
reads THE BULLETIN. II is found in the
sitting rooms, offices, counting houses,
shops and places Of business Of our people,
and is read every day by two or three
thousand people AS an advertising me-

greater variety of job type, better job prin-
tiers and better pressmen than any other
