Quality Printing

ORIGINALITY and good taste in selection of
~ ink type and stock, care in every little detail
of composition and press work-these must be COM
bined in the production of Quality Printing The
mechanic can and does produce the ordinary run
of printed junk-cheap fodder rushed thru the shop
with eye solely for the time sheet, and repnimand
from the boss if his per centum of profit is not
forthcoming at typothetae prices. Only the crafts
man can bring forth work of merit and therein
the small printshop has the advantage of many
large establishment with the mechanic predominant
on its pay rolls. Quality Printing is representative
of true art in that it is appropriate to the purpose
intended, embodyng utility to the utmost degree
The craftsmarprnter endeavors to fully understand
the purpose of the work he is set to accomplish
and carries the idea of appropriateness, of utility
with him thru every detail of the labor. The result
must be satisfactory; and in such the price
not help but be so.
