Printing done by the boys and
girls out in the Shop is often the
subject of favorable comment,-but
this week the limit was reached.
A city plant is circularizing our
customers with a letter claiming to
do as good work as The Newark
Post. Think of it-a real city
plant,-which usually smiles at the
Country Shop,-trying to draw
business with claim that they can
do as good work as we country
printer folk.
The letter is the joke of the Shop.
By the way, speaking of fine
Printing, our Shop is making deliv-
cries this week Of one Of the best
pieces of work yet turned out. The
work is a booklet for the Newark
Trust and Safe Deposit Company.
Notice of this will be given III our
next issue.
This book was designed, printed,
set to color and embossed by those
working here. Special mention
should be made Of the enclosing
and press work, executed by our
Harry Cleaves.
This book promises to create
comment. OF course this is a sort
of advertising. If in need Of print
ing with a touch of originality and
quality, come in,-the Ideas are
right here and at your service.
Tomorrow, we start two-color
run on the new Miehle for a New
York firm.

Concerning Sweethearts

Girls, here's a tip on how to
determine whether your "best
fellow" is really of the right
caliber.
Never let any male person tell
you, girls, that slouchinrsS of at
tire is an admirable trait in a
man. AS matter of fact, the
business world today demands
that its best workers and
"doers" wear the best OF
clothes. A good appearance in
a young man is considered a let
ter of credit; an index Of char.
acter; a mark Of good taste and
hiscriminative judgement.
So just ask your young man
tonight, in an off-hand way, II
his Easter suit will be Sol VIII
son made to-measure suit. If he
says eyes its an indication
that he's a man with high ideals
OF living and dressing. It's a
straw that shows that he wants
to keep strictly up with the
times; wants to know what's do
ing In mems styles and fabrics;
wants to be just as well posteo
on the latest tailoring vogues as
the clubman Of New York OF
Chicago. It shows that he's
ALIVE.
And by the way,-you can
come here with him, too, II you
like. You'll enjoy looking over
the wondrous display of Spring
Woolen and Worsted Novelties
many of them from Europe
that | have on display here,
Prices: AS amazing as Qualify
itself, ,-$16, SIT, 500, $22.5O, $40
$50 and $35.

pairing and Dyeing.
