ABOUT TIE ANNUAL
The following article appeared in the
South Georgia Progress, April Is
Explanatory.

explanatory
80 many friends in the city have
made inquiry concerning the printing
of the annual High School publication
this year, that, in justice to them and
to ourselves, we consider 1t just and
proper to make the following state
ment. 1t is made merely as a matter
Of information to those who may be
interested. The work is in charge OF
Prof. Hale and Prof Clement. We
have a printing plant well equipped
to handle work of this nature; we
have printed two or more issues of
the annual which were accepted with
complete satisfaction. This year we
submitted bid for doing the work
according to specifications, revising
the figures later in order to quote the
lowest possible price, not knowing at
the time that the contract had already
been made to have the work done in
Atlanta. Our revised figures came
within about ten dollars of the At
l2nta figures, and we guaranteed to
produce practically the same work
Owing to the extraordinary condition
Of the paper market and the high
price charged for every kind of ma
terial, the cost of publishing the an
nual will be in the neighborhood of
five hundred dollars this year-a tidy
sum to be paid Americas workmen and
III turn spent by them among the mer-
chants of Americas. Our information
is that it was not through any desire
tc hand the local printer a lemon that
the work was placed in Atlanta, but
merely the doubt of our ability to turn
out the grade of work demanded by
those having charge of the publica-
ton. If individuals see fit to spend
their money out of town for goods
that could be had at equal advantage
in Americas, that is strictly their bus
mess and not ours, but if funds are
to be paid out of the board of educa-
ton treasury for work done in Atlanta
that could be done equally as well in
Americas, then as taxpayers and cit
liens we feel that we should register
protest. And here it is.

HOW TO GET STRONG
G. M. HALE.
A Simple Remedy.

Whatever the cause, we want to say
to every person who needs strength,
you need Vinol, our delicious ccd
liver and iron tonic without oil, as it is
the most efficient strength creator we
have in our store. Here is proof from
Dorchester, Mass
Il don't know what we would do
without Vinol in our family. 1 was
weak, nervous and rundown as the
result of an operation, and Vinol re-
stored my strength. Then Grandmoth-
err had nervous breakdown, and Vim
oil built her up and restored her health
aid strength after everything else had
failed. We have used Vinol for 10
years in our family, and would not be
without it in the house" Myrtle l..
Healy, Dorchester, Mass.
We believe in Vinol because we
know it is a great strength CREATOR
due to the extractive medicinal ele-
ments of fresh cod livers, without oil,
combined with peptonate or iron and
beef peptone, all dissolved in a pure
medicinal wine, so we always return
the purchase money if Vinol fails to
benefit those who buy it.

When the Southern Printers were
told that the Annual could not afford
to pay so high price, Mr.. Ames sug-
gested that he would be glad if we
would ask Byrd Printing Company, of
Atlanta, Ca, for a bid. We did not
know that this was "a VIGOROUSLY un-
fair printing concern" and were act
ing purely upon his suggestion.
However, Mr.. Ames stated that he
would in the meantime revise his fig
ures. Between March 23rd and April
9rd, Mr.. Ames was urged three distinct
times to submit his revised quotation.
On April the Byrd Printing Com
lpany sent a special man to take I'D
with us the matter of the annual. Be-
fore this man was consulted at all, the
Southern Printers were again asked
| that afternoon for their revised bid.
But Mr.. Ames again deferred.
The representative of the Byrd Print
ing Company offered to do the work
for the following price: Two hundred
ANNALS, bound in ooze sheep, stamped
i" silver, printed in two colors, on
140-pound paper; and artists designs
for border included without extra
charge, for four hundred and fifty dol
lars; extra copies bound as the others
az ninety-five cents each. This bid was
sixty dollars lower than the only bid
that we had been able to get out of
tie Southern Printers. Even granting
that the Southern Printers could have
done equally as good work as the Byrd
Printing Company, the management of
the Annual could not from strictly
business standpoint, do otherwise than
close the contract that night with Mr..
PANEL, who represented the Atlanta
firm.
To forestall any criticism from the
local firm, and to prove to its own
satisfaction that the business manage
loent was justified in its conclusion
that the Southern Printers could not
meet the quotations submitted by the
Byrd Printing Company, the manage
1nent consulted Mr.. Ames the next af-
ternoOn. After he was made aware
Of the fact that he was badly beaten by
the Atlanta firm, he made in the pro
cess of an hour or more, the following
quotation. Two hundred copies fol
four hundred and sixty dollars; extra
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-05-05

copies at two dollars and twenty-five
cents each, which he said was his
best price. But when he was inform
ed that the Byrd Printing Company had
agreed to furnish us extra copies for
n;nety-five cents each, he Immediately
lowered his price to one dollar.
There was no offense intended; and
if the gentleman feels that he was put
to any unbusiness-like inconvenience,
or that he lost any business as a re-
suit of this conference, the manage.
ment of the A-Meri-Clan is ready to
compensate him in full.
When on April Goth, the first article
appeared in the South Georgia Prog
ress, in which it was stated that since
the Board of Education was contrib
uting to the expense of the Annual, the
taxpayers should protest to that body
against sending money out of town, the
management called on Mr.. Ames, and
very kindly requested him to appear
with the undersigned before the Board
o. Education, the trustees OF the public
fund, which invitation Mr.. Ames very
graciously declined.

This May 3rd, 1916.

In view of the foregoing articles
we think it is due the High School,
members of the Senior Glass in par
ticular, and the business men of the
city, who have in the past so gener-
ously supported us in all high school
activities, that the people of Americas
should know all the facts in the case
concerning the contract for this years
Annual
When the contract for the engraving
for the annual was placed, the engrav.
ors were notified that the Southern
Printers, of Americas, Ca, would do
the printing; and the engravers were
instructed to ship all plates, when
completed, to the Southern Printers
There was no intention or idea of even
asking any out-of-town firm for a bid
But when asked for their very low
est price, the Southern Printers rails
ed their rate over last years figures
just one dollar and ten cents per page;
or a raise of fifty-five per cent. And
leather covers they quoted at one dol
lar each for two hundred ANNALS
making total of five hundred and ten
dollars. These quotations we're sub
mitted in writing on March %.
