Pointers for our Patrons.

Our rule is the best stock and
best work for our patrons.
We carry in stock typewriter
paper, carbon paper and onion skin
for making duplicate copies.
We do not allow any printer to
put out nicer work than we do and
we put the best stock into our Jobs.
The difference between poor
stock and first class stock on a Job
is small item when YOU consider
the value of the job 1t is the
price of satisfied customer. 1t is
better to make so cents less on a
job and have a customer who will
come back, than to use the llimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure It..

of suggesting that the kowtOw was q
degrading custom so far as the Chi

consisted in lIneeling three lines and
