Business Agents would saw time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. 1t costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to us without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
100 sheets of note paper, padded,
with name and number of your ALI
ance and name of Business Agent or
Secretary nicely printed on it,
100 nice envelopes, printed,
1 lead pencil,
1 pen holder,
5 pen points,
5 blotters, all for the small sum of 81.
