ECLAIRCISSAMENT

T IMITATION is the sincerest fattery, and only
feited The abortve attemptsto to ape the styles and
counterfeit the PosTs superior job printing will
not deceive even novice. Three principal req
uistes are absolutely necessary to produce superb
Or book and job printing, and these are superior
material, superior facilities and superior artists
in the cart preservative" The Posi- has all
these. "They come high, but we must have
them," in order to keep abreast of the times and
meet the demand for the recherche art printing
that the social and business world has been edu-
Gated up to. The Posi-, in bidding for this class
of work, recognizes the absolute necessity of the
the three prime factors alluded to above, and,
with these, and correct business methods, foun-
dation is being laid for one of the best printing
plants of its class in Central Pennsylvania
This will embrace, in addition to the usual
lines Of commercial stationery work, catalogues,
booklets, brochures and magazines for teachers,
students, professors, principals and presidents Of
Universities, Colleges and Academies throughout
the United States.
In equipping the Posi- for this class of print
ing, the eclectic idea has been pursued, and the
choicest products of the leading Type Founders
and Printers Furnishing Warehouses have been
added. Among these are American, of Philadel-
phia and Boston, the Keystone, of Philadelphia,
Conner, Fendeer & Co., and the Damon Peets
Company, of New York, the Goldings of Boston,
Barnhart Brothers & Spindler, of Chicago, the
Inland Type Foundry, Of St. Louis, and others.
The Posi- now has in press a Book of Speci-
mems showing the class and varieties of printing
and embossing of which it makes specialtes, and
displaying its large assortment of new and fash
ionable faces of types, borders, ornaments, cuts
and other accessories. This book is designed TO ia
miliarize bbliophiles and lovers of fine art print
ing with its tecnique, and it will be sent free of
cos. to prospective patrons, when issued.
In the meantime, samples will he furnished,
estimates made and orders booked for superior
printing, and superior printing only.

CURRENT COMMENT.

WITH her increased prosperity and the advent
of a manufacturing era, it is small wonder that
the South is suffering from peroid of personal
shame at having indorsed the Democratic propa-
ganda.
The Nccs, with its has did" and shootist -
record is now setting itself up as an authority on
the 'possessive case fist. Paul owns nochurcl-
es he could help Moses out of the bullrushes..
The "betters' will always be on top
Now comes the announcement that Attorney
James G. Grouse will be candidate for Presi-
dent Judge. Mr.. Grouse has always been a
loyal Republican, true to his party, and halls
from that line of Grouse and Guteius ancestry
whose loyalty TO the Republican and Wing prn-
ciples was never questioned. Mr.. Grouse has
many friends who would like to see him elevated
to the Judicial toga.
FROM private sources The Posi- learns that
many of the interior teachers of public schools
have never yet been made formally acquainted
with their new duties as co-operators with the To-
cal boards of health "The first intimation," says
one of them, "that such duty devolved upon
me was when | read of it in The Posi-" We
suppose that if we were to recommend the send
ing of copy of the law to every teacher there
would instantly be chorus ofhowIs against "the
latest job, and, in point of fact such course,
while desirable in every way, is not actually nec
essary. The county and city superintendent can
take occasion to instruct the teachers themselves
and thus avoid that expense Meantime the edu-
calional department is not without responsibility
and opportunity in the premises. 1t should at
least stir up the superintendents.
