Tldewatdf Printing Company, under
whose manag6tteqt the Washington
Dally News Is issued, has just turn
ed out from Its jobbing department
Af sixty-one page booklet containing
a report of the schools for the past
year. All. who have seen the work
are loud In their praise of Its ex
ecution and justly- ao- for no finer
piece of work has ever been the out
come of a Iocs! printing establlsh
mnt.
<}ne enterprising citlxen who Is ev
er In the forefront tor progress,
doubted at first that the work had
been executed In the Dally News
Jobbing rooms and when convinced
that such was the case lie had noth
ing else to do but to extend congrat
ulations and in doing so stated:
'??Yoer Jobbing i plant Is a credit to
Washington and there Is no reason
why our business men find citizens
generally should not rally to your
support.'
"For the first time In the history
of^Waahlngton, during my day."
said he, "we can have our printing
done at home and tgp in a way that
is satisfactory and praiseworthy."
This Is but a sample of what the busl
ness men of Washington are think
| At of our Jobbtftg department. Thej
plant is now turning out another
large ' order In the way of booklets
[or the Pamlico Chemical Company.
