Cut Prices on Job Printing.

We want to talk little to our merch-
ants and others who consume printing.
We have few plain facts we want to
| present to them.
It's not case of "beef" or scold, but
simply comparison.
The cheap printing man has been in
town in person and by sample.
His prices are low(?)
They are considerably lower than any
of the local offices ask.
Can't we do it at the same price?
But that's another story, and will be
considered again.
You know it's easy to say to the print
er: "oh you are too high; we can get
this work for so and so.
Observe this now:
The furniture man in the city adyer-
tises goods away down, and we go to the
local dealer, and ask him about it.
And he truly says: inferior article"
The city dentist says he will make teeth
at half the price charged here.
The local dentist truly says: Inferior
work and material"
The city tailor says he will make suit
for a whole lot less than the local man.
The local tailor truly says: mot well
made"
The city druggist advertises medicines
at cut rates.
The local druggist says: Tnferior
and worthless drugs"
The city grocer, dry goods man. and
others quote prices the local man don't
touch, but the local truly remarks: "Not
the same goods"
The city doctor advertises to cure you
for small price, and the local physician
quietly but very truthfully says;
"Quack."
With daily paper before us just now
we see things advertised, so we know
that printing is not the only commodity
offered away down. Oh no, not by a
good bit.
And now the moral
No story is worth anything without a
moral.
The moral is: "The local printer is
not the only pebble on the beach, who
don't compete with the cut.throat fakir."
Mr.. Business Man, you don't compete
successfully either; why do you expect
your neighbor in the printery to do SO.
Try thinking about it.
Try looking at the "cheap man" in
your own line.
It's a double action stOry.-Ldtrobe

Majors Celebrated Cement.

We are in receipt of letter from Mr..
Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, in which he sets forth some very
interesting facts about MAJORS Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent. better than other cements, for which
similer claims are made, but great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and ether
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements OF his cement costs
1915 pound, and another costs S262 a
gallon, while large share of the So called
cement and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than siXte en- cent glue,
dissolved in water or citric acid, and, in
some cases, altered slightly in color and
oder by the addition of cheap and useless
materials. Majors cement retails at
fifteen cents and twenty-five cents bot
tie, and when dealer tries to sell sub
stitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make larger profit. The
profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of fact
tha each dealer gets his share OF the
benefit of Mr.. Majors advertising, which
now amounts to over $4,000 month
throughout the country. Insist on hav-
ing Majors. Don't accept any off-hand
advice from druggist. Always have
supply of Majors Cement on hands. If
you are at all handy land you will be
likely to find that you are a good deal
more so than you imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes,
and any other rubber aud leather articles,
with Majors Rubber Cement and Majors
Leather Cement. And you will be sur
prised at how many dollars year you
will save. If your druggist can It supply
you, it will be forwarded by mail either
kind.

Orman's plurality will be but few
votes less.
Much of the scratching was on jl-
dicial candidates and was favorable to
Judge Harris of Colorado Springs. But
the vote which went for him was so
divided as against Seeds and Cumming
that 1t seems impossible for Harris to
secure minority over either. The Of
ficial vote may make some change, but
the indications are that the Fusionists
have elected their entire legislative,
judicial and precinct ticket throughout
the county and districts. These COM

Colorado points:
FL Paso County.
Colorado Springs, Nov. 6.-The cleo
tion in Ell Paso county was very quiet
and an unusually heavy vote was
polled, there being an especially heavy
labor vote between q and o'clock this
evening.
Only nine out Of forty-three precincts
have been heard from, and County
Clerk Reed states that returns will not
be in before tomorrow forenoon. From
all the information at hand 1t is prac-
tically certain that FL Pnso county. will
give Mckinley from 1900 to 2.5OO ma
jority in the county. GOudy will get II
plurality OF about 1900. while the Re
publican judicial and legislative candi-
dates will carry the county by about
1,5OO.
In the outside precincts Republican
gains Of from 10 to 10 per cent have
been made. Manitou gave Mckinley
100 majority and, the Colorado City
vote was very close, but went Demo-
cratic by 1913.
In the local precincts some surpris-
luk uepuDIlcaH gains were uluue anu
several precincts went Republican
which were thought to be Democratic.
Regarding the local ticket, w. II. Fair
