C. | To Merchants, Lawyers | 8 and Other Business Men 9 fi We want to say to you that (or Bmany years we have made a sped- Q Salty of job printing. Very few read- 4 5 ers of The Herald have any idea of 0 ? the immense lot of printing we do. D We have built up a trade far and D 9 near which we hold. The people of j| the county have patronized us lib- M Berally and we have done large lots A of work from patrons In other coun Q ties. Why have we buflt up so large Q a business on job printing? It is Q because we have given the people good work on good material at rea S | sonable prices. There are other g 9 houses which can do good work and jjj give prices low enough but we say * jflj to you plainly that not one house n in a hundred jives as good material ~ y as we furnish. They buy cheap pa- Q per and envelopes on which to print, y We buy the very best material we | Mj can find in the United States and I || when you trade with us you get the | K best quality of paper your money X will buy. If yoa will examine our Q paper and envelopes and the work Q you get from others you will Bee Q the difference. We know of only D i one printing house in the State ? j|| which furnishes as good material as f JK we do and they get higher prices. ? I Why will you write one thousand M Q letters on common paper just to H save twenty five cents on the let Q ter heads? Why should you direct B Bone thousand envelopes which are soft and spongy and perhaps wrln- Q Bkled in order to save one fourth of || a dollar? Patroniie us and get the ? 9 best material and work. The prices I we give are low enough. j BEATY & LASSITER, J jj Smithfield. - - North Carolina jj
