Percy Jones, Printer.

In, our annual review last year we
mentioned that local printers had
made arrangement to have Mr.. Jones
carry large and complete stock of
funeral and wedding stationery. and
to make a speciality of that kind of
work, which had proven to be an ad-
vantage to both the public and the
printers. This year we have the
pleasure of announcing that Mr..
Jones has added feature to his Of
fee that enables him to get some
business that has heretofore been 60
ing to Salt Lake. He has added ap-
paratus for moulding rubber to make
rubber stamps such as are used at
the desk of the business man for
dating and putting in special lines
on documents from day to day that
could not we'll be printed with type
and have the particular results de-
sired.
It often happens that an Office
finds itself in need of some special
stamp for immediate use, and has to
wire Salt Lake to get it in time, and
now we can get it delivered the same
day by telephoning Percy Jones,
phone 100.
Last summer we received substan-
tial favors at the hands of Mr.. Jones,
that was also a favor to the public,
but they did not know it. Before we
bought our linotype machine and
while we we're favored with lot of
land notices for publication, we had
trouble to get type enough to keep
all the land notices set and still give
the public good allowance Of news
1t was one thing to telegraph to the
foundry for new type, and another
thing to get it here in time to use,
and every week or two brought new
demands One shipment would hard
ly arrive until we would have to wire
for more, and every time we got
stuck" for want of type we would
60 to Percy and get him to sell or
loan us case or 4wo to lift us over.
When our new machine arrived we
had several cart loads of type to
dump into the proverbial "hell-box"
to be shipped back to the foundry
and sold as old metal, at loss of
from ten to thirty cents pound, and
but for the generous aid of our COM
petitor, our loss would have been
greater, if it is fair to speak of a
rush of business as a loss.
With our equipment we manufact-
ure type almost as fast as a man can
operate a typewriter, and we save
the strain on your eyes by printing
with new type every week. When
Percy has rush order and wants
lot of type set while he is going to
dinner, We take pleasure in deliver
ing the job within the hour.
