Spurred by the Cuero
School Board’s action
Thursday evening award-
ing a printing contract for
in.noo envelope* to The Vic-
toria Advocate Jack How-

day the following letter
written the business man-
ager of The Advocate.
Mr. John Alkek, Bus. Mgr.
Victoria Advocate
Victoria, Texas 77301
Dear John:
We fail to understand the
reasoning which motivates The
Victoria Advocate Publishing
Company to go into neighboring
territory and sell printed en-
velopes at ridiculous cut rate
prices, which not only fall to
make a profit for your com-
pany. but also tends to show up
competitive printing firms as j
robber* and profiteers.
We are particularly perturb- j
ed hv your hid of $68 00 for .
10.000 number 10 printed en-;
velopes accepted by the Chero!
School Board at it# meeting j
Thursday which happen# to be j
the exact day The Cuero Rec-
ord mailed the Cliero Independ-
ent School District a check for
$904 to cover Its 1970 school
tas assessment.
V the bid submitted by The
Victoria Advocate had been
reasonable w> would have only
th« mild complaint to offer that
the school board used short

Justification in the school
boards action in that, comper-
ed with The Advocate bid of
$68 no, the Standard Printing
Company of Cuero submitted a
hid of $107 and The Oiero Pub-
1 thing Company, parent com-
pany of The Oiero Record sub-
mitted a bid of $110.30. There
la no justification for the cut
price bid of The Advocate
which was an apparent at-
tempt to shew up the two Io-
cs! firms which help support
our local schools.
The Record has been In busi-
ness for 76 years, almost as
long as The Advocate and the
Standard Printing Company hat
been operating for eome 35
years. A11 buy mvelope* from

We hsve just checked the

pound envelopes from three
suppliers In Us of 10,000. They
range in cost from $518 to
$5 56 per 1.000 at Houston,
Della* and San Antonio. There
is no possible way they can be
delivered to printing plants in
Oiero or Victoria for under
$8.00 per 1.000.
This makes the cost of the
blank envelopes to the printer
at least $60 It will cost the
