Nothing progresses like progress, and the first
aid to progress is good printing and good advertising
not the cheap kind, but good substantial printing
such as you will not feel delicacy in distributing
to your friends.
In printing, as in other lines, man is judged by
the quality he handles the same ones Clothes Shoes
hat, and company he keeps, his manners, etc.
The printers of Washington, a class, in
the first rank they master printers in other ways
than the name. They well equipped to do good
printing, and maintain price standard in keeping
with good quality. They pay their help well, always
striving to attain the best men in their especial lines
with the sole end in view-efficiency.
There is no reason why all of the printed matter
used by Washingonians should not be done in Wash
ington, being the home of Uncle Sam, around which
has been gathered the best of everything including
all branches of the "Art Preservative personnel
of Wsshingtons printing business is second to in
the country.
All of these men employed in the printing lines
reside in the District Of Columbia and spend their
money here, and it is only fair to them that Wash
ngton business should have their printing
executed here. made in Washington" is good
slogan for all.
