The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1924-02-21

adopted it as he buyers guide fol
printed matter. This price list is ar
elaborate affair and it makes the Of
flee foreman study to keep familiar
with it so he can understand the
system of indexing and classifying
we'll enough to be able to turn quickly
to the right places when a customer
states his needs. When a customer
is given a price from it, it is a ma
tional standard and not local or per-
sonal or snap judgment. 1t has
stood the test of experts and practical
printers doing exactly that kind OF
work under standard conditions.
There were nineteen guesses this
week and two of the guessers won
81 each. Six cash prizes of 81 each
were not won at all and this $24
goes into the Better Type Fund.
The money paid in during the
week was:
Subscriptions -.----.---$1O3.78
Legals 1920
Display advertising ---------- 1857
Job printing ------ 1920
The bookkeeper took 25 per cent
of it and put with it an equal amount
from the editors ranch account, and
the $24 in prizes that was not won,
raising the Better Type Fund to
$2O7.49 and the Better Printing
Fund to $619.11.
The cash prize for guessing closest
to the amount of advertising money
paid in the past week was awarded
to Mrs. H. P. Peterson, of Blackfoot,
R. F. D. 1 and her guess missed it
only cents.
The prize for guessing closets to
subscriptions was won by Mrs. ]. N.
McKie of R. F. D. and her guess
missed it $1.47. Nobody guessed
within IS of the job printing or
legals. Nobody came within $75 of
guessing the expenses of the office
for the first week in February, most
of them guessing away too low. The
amount paid out during the week
was $297.53. The correct allowance
for the weeks taxes was $8.96;
light, 68 cents; power, $1.96, heat
ing, 1878; insurance, $1.93; wages,
$205, and miscellaneous items made
up the rest.
Next week the condition of the
guesses will be that $64 is offered in
cash prizes and any of them that are
not won will be put into the Better
Printing Fund and Mrfl Trego will
have to take money out of his ranch
account in equal amount and put it
into the Better Type Fund. By rea-
son of the editor not having any part
in next weeks issue, this matter will
be extended one week, so the next
guesses will be opened on Thursday
noon, March 7, covering period of
two weeks.

and sixteen prizes are offered. Four
for advertising, legals, subscription
and job printing as heretofore.
