The NEWS Office rather knocks
them all out on sale bills, horse
bills and fine job printing. We
would like to have the farmers COM
pare our sale bills with those
printed at other Offices. We not
only have the type and material,
but we get in the artistic touches
cross roads printers do not possess.
There are lots of better printers
than we in the printing business
and some of them may be George
Washington's, but the farmer who
wants sale bill or jack diploma
does not care for patriotism, moral
ity or the sunbeam sort of christi
anity. He wants good, wholesome
artistic work in clear type, white
paper good ink and skillfully dis
played. And that's the sort of work
we do at the NEWS Office.
