BILLS FINANCING.


Tvs Hills method OF conducting
Id the sale OF the pinto was
E-1H eminently successful as n
Gs8S financial operation, but there
are those in Swan Greek country who
have never been able TO fathom the
mystery attaching TO the affair. 1t was
at the fall round up. the beef round up.
as 1t is called, which this year ended
at the Ashley ranch. There were rep
reSentatives from all the ranches and
some cattle men from across the line
The hospitality of the Ashley ranch
was up TO its own lofty standard, and
after supper the men were in a state Of
high eNhilaration. The Hon. Fred and
his wife, Lady Charlotte. gave them
selves to the duties OF their position
as hosts for the day with a heartiness
and grace beyond praise.
After supper the men gathered round
the big fire which was piled up before
the long. low shed, which stood open in
front. 1t was a scene OF such wild and
picturesque interest as can only be
witnessed in the western ranching
country.

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
JOBPRIN7INC

1t used to be that 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
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy 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, i. doesn't
speak we'll for the firm " hich 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 standing Of ones business. II i:
therefore a duty you owe to yourself
TO have good printing.
