WILL SAVE MONEY
ON LETTER HEADS
> Secretary Plans to Econo-
mize on Cost of Press
Work.

The Department OF Agriculture, which
is the only one of the executive depart
ments in Washington that does no.
use embossed letter heads TO any extent,
has hit upon a good plan TO save a
large sum in this one item Of printing.
The division of publications has sue
ceeded in securing the adoption of the
plan, Which is to have letter heads
printed in sheets of four and afterward
cut into regulation size. 1t is estimated
that this scheme will save in press work
charges about so on every $1,000 lot.
Last year the department had printed
IN The branch printing office $4,000
letter heads, besides several large
orders that were sent 10 the Govern
ment Printing Office.
The saving to the printing account is
therefore expected to be a large one.
while the work will be just as good.
Secretary Wilson has maintained from
the arst that the regulation letter press
printing is good enough for the Depart
unent of Agriculture, and he not only
uses this sort of stationery himself, but
declines TO allow bureau chiefs 10 have
embossed work.
