One day Sir Algernon West, a well

doorkeepers talking TO a gentleman
who had rasping, raucous voice and Il
demonStrative, excited manner. While
the conversation was in progress Sir

Next moment up came another GARD

apology was returned. In another min
ute the doorkeeper came carrying a
huge card and saying that the lord
mayor and sheriffs OF London wished
very urgently ia see Sir Algernon. The

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 neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of job print
ing crowded and the type damned
too close together, with dirty-looking
ink and finger marks smeared over
it, on 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 standing Of ones business. 1t is
therefore a duty you owe to Yourself
to have good printing.
