Let ME submit you an estimate on the labor and material required. Reasonable Charges j SK It is the brains that the printer mixes with ink that tells the tale. There are many ways in which lhe printer's knowledge and skill can be applied so as to give the cuilomer in selling value much more than the amount of his bill. This (act often juuifiei one printer in charg ing more (or a job that to the casual eye, does not show a corresponding difference in value. Merely to set type and print is not all that is req uired to produce good printed matter. Neat arrangement ol type, suitable color of inks and a good grade ol paper, on which to print, are required to tum out a good job such as we give to our customers. l. .. nl i W!l rim Hi 1 r ':' bll3 -" '' !
