Good Printing
.Slyies in .Job F rinting have undergone many
changes in the past few years. The old style ef
fects with the big, gaudy type and fancy borders
have been replaced with more simple designs.
Present day business men who know the val
ue of good stationary, realize that the old, out
or date designs have no connection with modern
business methods. Consequently they use more dig
nified type faces and simplified designs in their
stationery, which not only makes a more favorable
impression upon those with whom they have busi-'
ness correspondence, but reflects the prosperity
of their business as well.
The equipment of The Journal’s Job Depart
ment is up-to-date in every respect. A splendid
new Linotype, good power presses, and a fine
assortment of the latest type faces, enable us to
handle any kind of printing promtly. Nothing but
the best material used, and our printing never
fails to please the most particular users of hieh
grade printing..
Our services ere at your command six days in
the week. J
