=" There Isn't One
Really Good
Printer in Five.
Hundred"

PRINTERS INK-the leading journal
on publicity of all kinds-has the fol-
lowing 10 say: There are thou
sands of printers in this country
good, Indifferent, and a lot of bad
ones. There isn't one really good
printer in five hundred. Intelligents
advertisers are willing to pay for
good printing, no matter where it
comes FROM"
PRINTERS INK knows what it is
talking about. Poor printing is a
bad investment-it's worse than a
blank. A business mans stationery
or booklet is like travelling man
it it's neat, well dressed and to. the
point, the first impression is good
and your chances of doing business
on the strength of it are good.
We realize this. We keep abreast
of the times. We know what good
printing is and produce it. We are
pretty careful not to let poor job
get on to our presses. No press in
the country can better our printing
and we want you to know it.

ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO
Comparison of Honey Order Business
 in the Two Territories.

Figures were given a few days ago from the annual report Of the auditor for the pCsuOMce department, showing the Increase of postal receipts iu Ari- zona for the year ending June -c 1904 Data is now secured from the same publication, from which au interesting comparison can be made betwcen A-i- zona and New Mexico in respect to the volume of money order business trans acted in the two territories.
 During the year Arizona. oGiCes i5- sued 219.137 domestic money orders amounting to $2,475.5oi. while New Mexico only issued 1482 domestic or ders amounting to Sl 2S5.4 .430. Arizona issued also, 1,452 International money orders amounting to s21C.5g while New Mexico issued only I3l5 international money orders amounting to S3t-158.
 About the same ratio is maintained in the business Of raylng money or ders Arizona paid GS. t13 domestic or ders amounting to $1,0I6, 79G while New Mexico paid 56,O56 international orders amounting to $155.752. Arizona paid oCI ,lnteruational orders y1nounIug to S10.- C97 while New Mexico paid e25 ineer- national orders amounting to. SJ.3l7.
 During the year the pOstmasJers for waIded to their respective Repositories the following amounts. in excess Of what was required for paying orders presented: From Arizona $1,310, ,S53. lrom New Mexico. ST60,z50
 There is also an interesting showing regarding the number Of postoHcas In each territory. W hile the gross busi- ness Of Arizona ia much the largest she has fewer postohfces by over 15O. New MeEicO's offices though are mucn gsv,-. TT-.-. class offices in Arizona is 233 forty oE which get less than dfty dollars sal ary, fifty more, less than s100, seventy between S1Co and $-C3; nlty-s;x be- tween S2C0 and S5C9 and fifteen be- tween $500 and S1,0C0

like ruffies of her gown hung snagged
and dripping with dew.
She smiled; then laughed. 1t was
curiously happy little laugh, full of re-
lief and gladness and love. Suddenly
she thought of the paper. She must
burn 1t Immediately; she had promised
Dick that she would do SO. She walked
over to the open fireplace. A blue and
red mass OF Goals huddled sleepily in
the CRATE.
Constantine opened her palm slowly,
and eyed the crumpled scrap of paper
with deprecative eyes. II wonder"
she unused, unfolding it mechanically,
II wonder who could have written 1t,
anyway-and to whom 1t was written?
No one else came-there. Perhaps
can trace resemblance" She
smoothed out the creases with careful
fingers and read:
impossible for me to get to the
branch before $50. Wait for me-
&C"
An instant her Iashes f1ickered; the
paper slipped from her nerveless fin
gers and lay unheeded on the floor.
Minutes passed. Presently, she stopped,
quite calmly, and picked it up and laid
it on the Goals. She watched 1t curl
and blacken and sift to ashes. Then
she turned away and went downstairs
to rejoin her guests.
