for shortcomings they will crop
out; but they come through the oc-
casional errors of willing helpers,
who skip something in inspection.
Letter papers are studied from the
standpoint of experts; the produc-
ton is under our supervision from
the sorting of the paper stock to the
putting on Of the last fancy band,
and we are giving Our Public the
best values and the best styles of
stationery the city ever had.
Costs of production vary greatly
we see to it that each grade is given
you at least practicable price.
Last January we introduced "Club
Vellum" IA splendid writing sur
face, strong and satisfactory, half
dainty writing paper. Some of the
finest hotels have adopted it--and
their owners pride themselves on
proper stationery. 1t is a ladies'
correspondence paper. We don't
find this paper costly to produce,
though every whit as good as papers
carelessly sold at much higher price.
We have sixty thousand pounds
ready now-with the bald fact facing
US that we can't get more, as the
maker foolishly entered the Trust.
We have only
Six Million Envelopes to Match
and we fear we cannot get more
of them.
Paper, lOc pound. Ten pounds for eOc.
Envelopes, I5c hundred.
Full thousands only at SI.z5.
