used and which has shown the
sharpest advance is printing ink,
which in some instances has advanced
as much as 500 per cent. Advance
in the price of ink is not the only
trouble, however, as the schedule says
the ink now obtainable has an inferior
covering quality due to the inability
of the ink makers to get the proper
ingredients. More ink is now required
to cover a given printed surface.
Other articles used in the printing
trade which have shown an advance Of
more than 100 per cent are: Wiping
rags and benzine, among the general
supplies, and binders boards, end
