A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
JOBPRIN7IUC

1t used to be that the quality Of
Job Printing did not amount 70
much' so far as success in business
was conce~ned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
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 TANNED
too close together, with dirty-looking
INK and finger marks smeared over
It, on low grade of paper. il. 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. Its
therefore a duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.
