To do your Printing: Sir
we proposed to gi,ve away
of the profits on our work within
the next six months, the busi
men of Asheville and the sur
rounding counties have evi
dently come to the conclusion
that we mean
lusimess !
They are finding out that the
ridiculously low prices we are
asking for work does not mean
cheap or shoddy work. We are
simply willing to be content
with a whole lot less profit than
other people want for work not
near so good as ours.
