They go out in dull seasons when it is deemed best to do work at no profit, or even at small loss, in order to keep working force together. They give you lower prices than they will or can afford to give their home customers just to get your patronage started, and expect to make up the loss on future orders you may send them. Do you consider that system of cutting rates away from home square deal

We buy stock from first hands for cash, and we respectfully ask that you compare our regular prices, stock and quality with the aoerage prices, stock and quality of other printers.
