drafted Alton it. Parker from New

not captivate imagination. Mr. Taft

SHOP TALK.
A few days ago we had quite a large
order of job printing from a promi
nent business man in Camden. v The
work was printed, delivered and a
bill mailed for same. Quite a kick
was made by our friend at what he
??ailed exhorbitant juices. We let it
go by without saying anything. Our
friend immediately got prices on the
??amo job from out of town printers,
and found that, our prices were lower
than the others. We always try to
give good service at a fair profit, and
as a rule we have few kirks on our
I u'ices.
