Merit cannot be hid, however mod
e.tiy it may appear, and although the
space occupied in our Christmas cut by
Pryce L. Jones, Henderson's artistic
and progressive job printer, is not as
large as some others, it tells its story
no less effectualIy for all that. But
however loud or eloqnenty the adver-
tisement may speak it is not so forcible
as NJ. Jones work speaks for itself
An experienced workman, with taste
and skill to properly employ the facil-
tiles at his command his work is equal
to the best and his prices as low as is
consistent with good stock aud first
class service. See Jones when YOU
want good printing done-printing that
