A Few Words to the Business Men OF
BOZeman and Eastern Montana.

For several years past many of the prom
inent merchants and business men of Boze
man and Eastern Montana in general. have
been having their job printing done away
from home-ln Helena; Chicago; West
Salem; New York City. or elsewhere
Not having the material with which to ,lu
their work in the highest style or the mos,
sattactOry mLanner, we considered they
were meas,lrahly justiiahle in getting il
done elsewhere. Believing. however. that
no merchant. alive to the interests Of his
town. will have work done elspwl that
he cab have performed equally as well at
home. we have. at an outlay of over two
thousand dollars, made such additions and
improvements 10 our job department as to
place it second to none in Montana. We
have also secured the ser, ices of an expert
ence'l job printer. man who for five years
was superintendent Of one Of the largest
printing estallishme; IS in Chicago. viz !:
Getaway & Coibert's. Nos. l47 Il l49 Fifth
Avenue. which is sufficient guarantee
that he understands his business. From
the manner in which lie has turned out the
work entrusted to him since his arrival in
Bozeman. two months ago. we feel per-
fecily justified in guaranteeing that every
job hereafter entrusted to this office will lie
done in Il wOrkran-like manner. But of
this we are willing to be Judged by our
work.
. Last week our material arrived from the
East. and has been put in shape tor work.
This week we will issue circular from our
office. giving our :.rices for the various
CLASSES OF job work generally required.
We ask respectful examination of onr
prices and work. feeling confident that
neither will suffer by comparison with any
thing heretofore offered in Montana.
In making our prices we have not at
tempted ~ compete with eastern houses.
nor ito we think S,lcl, can be riyhlfully eX-
pected Of us. We are generous enough to
believe that there is not business man in
BoZr'nan who prefers giving his patronage
TO those who are moi called upon to contrib
ute to the support of such public enterpr-
ses of our own town and country as are
" tIiC NtI tAlStINc VI Il COIIl-
nnnity, in preference to those who from
more favored location and exempt Oh Fl ON
these burdens. can afford to com tte with
other localities in prices. We clio not eX-
Dect to purchase what we need at the same
prices we can Obtain such articles for in
Chicago or New York. neither do we
link we will be expected to do work for
he low and unrenunerative prices charged
~ printers in Eastern Cities. In the mat
er of time we can offer inducements sup
rior to any outside office. and we think if
verythlng is taken into consideration our
atcs will compare very favoribly with
Eastern prices.
Again. if in our business we are success
NJ the profits assist materially 10 the sup i
ort and building up OF the town. while
he profits outsiders derive from the work i
ivrn them by you are used 10 enrich and |
eneiit remote or rival places.
These IRE few of the the thoughts that ,
ave suggested themselves to us, and we ,
,nllntnl them to the careful consideration 8
the thinking business men among whom
has been our lot to live and labor for
ears past and To whose good will and :
ltronage we confidently look forward to !,
