any difference, but if public opinion that point
weighed you would find that it is quite factor in draw

keep pace with civilization, you must follow customs
which is naturally the greed of every man, nowadays
who has genuine pride. The art of printing is some
thing that few people acquire. They may print, but
the art is present Again, the art may be there
but the stock which the printing is done is of the
poorest quality, which entirely oberates the art that
would otherwise be apparent Then again, the quality
of ink and nicely and distncness of color used are
something that counts in bringing out beauty of art into
display. The CITIZEN printing department carries
