Wild roved an Indian girl
Bright Alfarata,

Where sweep the waters
Of the blue Juniata.
Swift as an antelope
Thro the forest going,
Loose were her jetty locks
In wavy tresses flowing.
Gay was the mountain song
Of bright Alfarata,
Where sweep the waters
OF the blue Juniata.
Strong and true my arrows are
In my painted culver.
Swift goes my light canoe
Adown the rapid river.
g Bod is my warrior good.
The love of Alfarata:
Proud waves his snowy plume
Along the Juniata.
Soft and low he speaks TO me,
And then his war-cry sounding,
Rings his voice III thunder loud,
From height 10 height resounding.
So sang the Indian girl,
Bright -Alfarata,
Where sweep the waters
Of the blue Juniata.
Fleeting years have borne away =
The voice OF Alfarata:
Still sweeps the river on,
Blue Juniata.

Competitive Printing

bOOkleLS are I1OC DOug1I LII dSSOICcu Sizes dS
you buy collars Printing is now sold with
and as service. Every piece Of printed
matter is made to fit particular occasion
to appeal to special class Of readers to
express the personality of an individual ad-
>vertiser.
First, we offer good printing-as good
as can be done. To that we add suggestions,
ideas, layouts Of our own to make the print
ing effective whether it is label or an adj
vertisement
We are glad to give you an estimate Of
what job will cost, but an estimate upon a
job of printing is valuable only when each
printer is estimating on the same job.
That seldom happens.
Paper costs cents to Is cents pound.
Ink costs rs cents to S. pound.
-. Taste, originality, knowledge these
are almost priceless.
If you are good judge of all these
things then you can decide between esti-
mates. Competitive printing, however,
never secures such good results as reposing
confidence in printer Of proved worth.
The next time your attention is arrested
by printed thing we'll done, stop and ask
yourself: Can such work be done by the
printer who figures lowest? No. Cheap
printing conveys the idea that you are
cheap man, doing a cheap business at cheap
prices.
It seems unfortunate that people do not
understand that the most interesting state
n1ent that can be put in type has no appeal
unless the vital words are properly mar
shalled by an intimate knowledge Of paper,
ink, and type faces plus-and here is the big
secret-the knowledge of the particular re-
ouirenent in hand and the ability to handle
it. Your printer should become the master
workman who moulds the many elements
into one harmonious whole.
Naturally we are subject to the wishes
of our customers. If you desire to attend tc
the various parts which go to make the
completed job-if you feel competent to be-
come the master mind, we will become me-
chanlcs and produce for you the printed
work which will be your conception of what
you want
But if you leave it to us we will adapt
your ideas and enbody your needs into the
harmonious expression which you seek If
it is results or effectiveness that you are
after we can help you That subtle dignity,
fitness of purpose, and general impressive
ness become an intangible part of our work.
To summarize. Don't haggle on cost;
haggle for effectiveness. Don't waste your
time dickering. Come to Headquarters,
Come where they have the equipment, the
men, the ability, the reliability, and the Gre
ative service.
We shall be pleased to prove our claims
Of our ability to serve you intelligently and
well.
