Esshom. dean of Denver editors, are
exchanging compliments these days

In return Mr.. Esshom sees in the
Conkey plant the best equipped and
most scientifically managed printing
establishment in the country. AS ev-
idence of this he brought his work TO
Hammond after inspecting the big
publishing houses of the United States

rate.

Without encouragement the Job
came to Conkey's. After an inspection
of the plant Editor Esshom talked
