1t used to be tha, the quality Of
Job Printing did not amount 70
much, SO far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well
without it. But We live in another
aud altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend 10 occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece Of job print
ing crowded and the type TANNED
too close together, with dirty-looking
ink and finger marks smeared over
it, on a low grade Of paper, it doesn't
speak we'll for the firm which uses it,.
In fact, YOU 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 stanc.0g Of ones business. Ii is
therefore a duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.
