A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
J0BPRIN7INC

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 1t. 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
1t, on a low grade of paper. it doesn',
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. It j.
therefore a duty YOU owe 20 Yourself
to have good printing.

much parasitic life in this country-iu-

off others labor. and this Is not the
worst of it. for we have lots of humans

his wife take in washing to support the
family while he loafs around the sa-

to know what is, and the worst of it is
that the women won't let this sort be
