At the Thursday evening session W. S. Tut
tie of Rutland, VT, representative of the
United Typothetae of America. addressed the
association on 'tThe Cost of Printing" advo-
eating the adoption of cost system. by which
an accurate record is made of the cost of
every job and Of the efficiency of the en-
ployes Mr. Tuttle said that there had been
no failures in the Typothetae; that there were
26,0O0 job printers in this country who had no
credit rating and $4,000 who had credit for on
ly 5000 to $500. His address, although the cost
system may be adopted by newspapers, was
specially directed to job printers, number of
whom were present and the experience meet
ing which followed was interesting even to a
newspaper man and was not without its humor-
GUS points. 1t is no doubt true that in old
times many a country newspaper was depend
ent upon its job department; but now the
Portland printers, some of them at least,
think the newspapers are carrying the job de-
partments. The general sentiment was that
where a price is made by a competitor that
leaves no profit, and perhaps entails loss, to
let him have the job.
