INFERIOR PRINTING
Like goods of an inferior quality, is a detriment to every I
businessman. Apiece of printing that has a cheap, rag- j
ged, slop shop look is never read but is tossed into the waste
basket as soon as received. The Bill Head, Letter Head, t
Envelope, Statement, etc;, that is not neatly printed causes
people to think that the merchant who uses interior printing J
probably deals in inferior merchandise, and so they purchase j
elsewhere. Did you ever think of that, Mr. Business Man? !
