The Adams-W Wilson Printing Co. is the only printery in the city operat- ed by steam power. It is also the only exclusively job printing estab- lishment in the city. It also has more money invested in printing presses, machinery, type, stock, etc, than any other printing house in the State east Of Little Rock. It also pays out more money for labor than any Pine Bluff printing house. and does larger business, both outside and inside of the city, than any of its local competitors. It has unequalIed facilities in Pine Bluff for quick, neat and cheap commercial and job print ing. and has but few superiors in the South. It can therefore meet com petition from any quarter, in price, quality, speed or workmanship, and solicits orders with the guarantee of satisfaction.
