The boom OF these pieces and the

prolectiies through the air was most
impressive as were the great volumes
of smoke and debris, thrown up. The
effect of the lyddite shells was truly
terrific, one house being blown bodil..'
into the air. and as they burst among
the brick stacks they created great
havoc among the enemy.
The assault was launched against

stacks OF bricks. held by the Ger

Competitive Printing

People no longer ask for dollars worth
Of printing. Printing doesn't come in bulk,
Rockets are not bought in assorted sizes as
Won buy collars. Printing is now sold with
and as a service. Every piece OF printed
matter is made to fit particular occasion
Ito 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 a label or an ad-
vertisement.
We are glad to give you an estimate Of
what job will cost, but an estimate upon
job of printing is valuable only when each
printer is estimating on the same job. i
That seldom happens.
Paper costs 3 cents to 25 cents pound.
Ink costs rs cents to S. pound.
Taste, originality, knowledge-these
are almost priceless.
If you are a good judge of all these
things-then you can decide between esti-
mates Competitive printing, however
never secures such good results as reposng
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 a
cheap man, doing cheap business at cheap
prices. Il
It seems unfortunate that people do not
understand that the most interesting state
ment 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-
ouirement 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-
chanics 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 embody your needs into the
harmonious expression which you seek. If
1t 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.

Maggie for effectiveness. Don't waste your
time dickering. Come to Headquarters.

THE MARKETS


The wheat market IS still on the tc.
boggaE', simply because there are no
buyers. While several of the wheat men
in the city say valley wheat is now on
cash basis of 70 cents, others claim
it is really worth on the market 76c
and again others are offering but zoe.
With this difference in the local prices,
it is hard to tell JUST what is fair
value, and much will depend on how
bad the grower wants to sell, as it is
risky business to buy on a falling mar
ket
Butterfat and creamery butter both
advanced two cents yesterday. Less
butter is being offered, and there is a
strong demand elsewhere. The egg
market seems to have settled down to
% cents basis cash, and 25 cents foi
trade, or strictly No. ! candled. Poul-
try is scarce and in strong demand.
