"A representative of a large
printing concern located in the
state was in Boonville, last week,
soliciting orders for job print
ing," says the Banner. He
wanted to make plates for some
of our large merchants, from
which to print their stationery,
at cost of $12, and then do the
work for less than the home
printer can afford to do it. He
was a glib talker, but we heard
of no order that he secured. the
merchants of Roonville patron.
ize their home printing offices,
and it is right and proper that
they should. The out of-town
printer doesn't huy his goods of
our home merchants; he doesn't
spend a dollar in this community;
pays no taxes and takes away
every cent he gets his claws on.
It is the other way with the
home printer. He buys his sup,
plies from his home merchants,
pays their price, pays his taxes
and spends his money among
those who patronize him. The
merchants of Boonville are all
liberal with the home printer,
and we don't believe an outsider
can come in and secure orders
against him. So far as this
establishment is concerned, we
want to say that we have been
here for a long time; have
equipped our Office to do the best
quality of work, and endeavored
the best we could to give the
people of the community good
paper, and, when the time
comes when our business men
send their printing away TO some
out-of-town printer, then the
time will have come when we
will believe our efforts in behalf
OF our home people have been
unappreciated."
