When you get your hand
in the pile, the size of the
hand is of great importance.
When you want to rush
out a strong piece of printed
matter, to take advantage of
a situation that arises now
and then, the size of your
Printer’s plant becomes a
matter of equal importance.
While we haven’t the largest plant
in the world—and very few printers
have—our equipment and organiza-
tion are such that we can handle
anything you are likely to need in
the shortest possible time.
Our facilities merit your earnest
consideration no less than our de-
termination to give our _ customers
just the service they require in every
instance. \
f* j
This business is run on the bank
principle of serving our customers
First We are always looking for new
business, of course; but never to the
inconvenience of customers we al-
ready have.
Tell us your requirements. We’ll
meet them—with intelligent co-oper-
ation, fine workmanship and deliv-
ery that’s on time to the minute.
