should gather himself together as he

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount to
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
without it. But we live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have heat stationery if they
intend to occupy prominent place
among their competitors.
When You see a piece of job print
ing crowded and the type jammed
too close together, with dirty-looking
nk aud finger marks sulearrd over
IT, Oh low grade Of paper. it doesn't
peak we'll for the firm which uses it.
In fact, YOU don't have the same
opinion Of that place rs you have of
TIE man whose stationery is clearly

The quality Of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. 1t is
therefore duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.
