During the last ten years the amount Of printing done by the State
has practically doubled. This is due not onlyato the increase in BUSH
ness throughout the State, but to the more thorough and modern
methods of administration now in vogue IN the several State depart
ments. The work of the Office. of the Secretary Of State has greatly
increased In volume owing to the wise and progressive corporation
laws. The systematized work of the Auditors Department, the De-
partment of the State Treasury, the Corporation Commission and the
Insurance Department has called for the multiplication of printing
requirements. The Department of Education, sustaining the pace
set by the widespread impulse of eight years ago, is now sending out

scientific and appreciated effort to put the farming Interests. In the

spirit in the State administration printing is necessary. No invest
ment yields a larger return than printers ink, and under the wise
Legislation now governing the making of the contract and its perform

-GE GREAT PRACTICAL VALUE.
The total cost Of the State printing is now a large item in the annual
budget of the State Government, But the price at which it is done
is the smallest in the history of North Carolina, Notwithstanding, gem
orally higher prices and larger wages paid employees, while the work
itself was never SO well performed.
The practical and Immediate benefit and necessity of the Bureau of
Labor and Printing is therefore seen at a glance, by reason Of thelfact
that the work has become one of magnitude and that the total expendi-
ture has become a considerable item of yearly expense. -
