 BUSINESS MEN You will at this season be approached by drummers, who will show you samples and bid below living rate for your business stationery. 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 8 square deal ?
 The Press will furnish office stationery, printed in the best style, as low as any office in the country can afford to furnish it, and if your continuous patronage is given to this office you will average in the end better terms than you can get from drummers. Our cork soiH hold out fuH count. Stock furnished is al. ways equal to samples shown. We buy stock from first hands for cash, and we respectfully ask that you compare our regular prices, stock and quality with the arerage prices, stock and quality of other printers.
