Good Printing

Is like good painting-it demands
and obtains second glance. The Sec
ond glance leads to thought about and
knowledge of the thing portrayed, and
then on the advertiser.
The kind o; printing as we'll as the
kind of painting that it pays to do and
to have done is that which obtains the
second glance" Plenty of the other
kind
We are PRINTERS. Our work obtains
glances of admiration, and thus leads
on to the end desired, We don't do
the "other kind" Put us to the test.
