A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
.JOBPRRIN7INC

1t used to be that the qualify O.
Job Printing did not amount r
much, so far as success in business
was CONCEIVED. Any business man
vi woman could get along fairly we'll
without it. But we live in anothei
aud altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if the,
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of job print
ing crowded and the type jammed
TOO close together, with dirty-loOking
ink and finger marks smeared over
it, on low grade of paper, it doesn't
speak we'll for the firm which uses it,.
In fact, yoG don't have the same
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the best
grade of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. 1t is
therefore a duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.
