The Journal has just finished
printing a big lot of check books
for the Merchants & Planters
Bank of this city. The banks, as
a rule, have most of their printing
done in the cities because they
can usually get their stationery in
large quantities from the city offi
ces a few cents cheaper than from
the home printer, but in this in
stance The Journal’s prices were
so near the city prices that we got
the job. This is a commendable
i step on the part of those in charge
j of the new bank, and is one that
every business firm could follow
to good advantage. We hear a
great many business men com
plain that people send away from
home to buy too much, and in
many instances these same busi
ness men are persuing the same
policy, especially with the home
printer, that they complain of
among other people. No man or
firm ever loses anything by try
ing to keep all the money he can
at home, and The Journal is glad
to note that the Merchants and
Planters Hank is taking the lead
in this matter.
