including 10000 pieces OF printed
matter. This contract was secured
against very strong competition, not
only from printing establishments
within the state of Montana but also
against bids submitted by eastern
houses and the securing of the work
is a matter Of pride to the business
manager of the Argus. The manager
of the Montana Railroad company af-
forded every opportunity and induce
ment 10 the securing Of this work
from home printers and al the begin
ming of negotiations agreed that cast
crn bidders should be handicapped
in a small measure on account of the
additional cost of material and labor
in Lewistown. Having ono secured
the work there is reasonable assur-
ance that hereafter all the Montana
Railroad company's printing will bear
the imprint OF the Argus. Two
