The Herald occasionally makes a
mistake in quoting figures, but gen
orally on the eXcusable side For in
stance we noted last week the arrival
of 100 reams of Nat papers at this of
flee. The invoice shows 120 reams in
addition to 100 reams of letter paper
along with all other kinds of station
cry. What are we going to do with
it? Dispose of 1t TO our merchants
who want the best in commercial
printing.
The Herald played in luck. Since
placing the order for print paper in
February the price has gone up
quarter of a cent pound which means
net saving of $50 on the order, The
market was down when The Herald
purchased and accounts for placing
such large order. Nothing like do
ing business, being able to take ad
vantage of opportunities. OF course
