Stroud & Co., are very grateful to
their many friends for the liberal
patronage extended them in the past,

ed to them that they would be glad to
accommodate such friends longer, but

mules and feed, and request a settle-

"A representative off Chattanooga
firm was here Thursday soliciting job
work from our merchants. We are
glad to see drummers from printing
establishments come around OCCASION
ally. They show our merchants
samples and prices, and convince
them that they get as good work and
as low prices at home as they can get
anywhere else. The STANDARD does
not let any commercial job work 60
out of McMinnville.
Our printers can get along very
well with bad handwriting and bad
spelling, but they can't waste time
trying to read copy written with pale
ink or a pencil which makes a dim
mark. Correspondents will please
keep this in view, and use only good
black ink, or a soft lead pencil, and it
would be further kindness to US if
they would leave off flOurishes in the
writing. Write as plain as possible.
We are always willing to correct any
little inaccuracies in spelling and
grammar, but we request all of our
correspondents to be as accurate as
possible in all of their statements of
news matters.
