The county auditor in one instance showed the bid to the local' publisher and requested a bid ap uroxiraately as low, says the South Dakoto State College ^.agricultural service editor. The publisher wrote the lArge house about it and offered to get them the job at that price. He got an answer back something like this: "We figured when wc Serit out these low prices that we could get all the ballot work in this part of the state, but have failed to get enough orders to make the price possible, therefore wc cannot^ do the work at the price." All their low prices had done was to make it difficult for the local men to get a living wage for their work. These same cheap john printing con corns solicit banks and other large users of printed matter on the same basis. If tliay can get eight, twelve or4 sixteen banks to order a large supply of one certain form they make a low price on this particular job that the local printer cannot meet. It is cut-throat competition of the worst kind. Solicitors from these concerns should be placed on the black list by McLaughJin bankers and business men who believe in' ' buy it in McLaughlin" and supporting home industry. ? McLaughlin (S.D.) Messenger. (Merchants and bankers always want the local editor to fight for trading at home. The principle ap plies to the printer as it does to the merchant. ? American Press.
