THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



Printed Stationery. 



^=*-^^'^^'f^^^'cS^>^;^<r^ 



If you don't use letter heads and en- 

 velopes with your name, address and 

 business printed upon them, there must 

 be some reason for it. If your corres- 

 pondence is not very extensive, perhaps 

 you think it is not worth while to i.icur 

 the expense of printing; if so, let us have 

 a little talk about it. In the first place, 

 when you do write a letter, you need a 

 printed heading for exactly the same 

 reasons as the man who writes loo letters 

 in a day. A neatly printed letter head 

 gives to the reader a favorable impression 

 of the writer— that he is a man of busi- 

 ness, or some importance. Then there 

 are so many careless, or forgetful pen- 

 man, or those who sign their names with 

 a flourish, that the sight of a neatly 

 printed name and address on a letter, is 

 a great source of comfort to the recipient 

 —none knows this better than the man 

 who receives large numbers of letters. 

 A man writes his name a great many 

 times, and it looks perfectly plain to him, 

 but it is not always plain to one not ac- 

 quainted with his signature. Then, a 

 man may forget to sign his name, or to 

 address the envelope, or to put on a pos- 

 tage stamp; if his name and address are 

 printed upon both the letter and envelope, 

 the troubles arising from these neglects 

 are largely remedied. Sometimes the 

 writer is thereby saved from serious loss 

 or annoyance. 



Now a little explanation as to the 

 price at which I can furnish printed note 

 heads and envelopes. Since my daugh- 

 ter who has set my type for several years, 

 has married, I am obliged to pick up 

 whom I can to set the type. The trouble 

 is that there is not work enough on the 

 Review to keep a compositor busy more 



than half the time, and I wish to make 

 work enough .so that 1 can keep a good 

 man busy all of the time. I have bought 

 a new press of the latest style, for doing 

 job work, and engaged Mr. Hartshorn, 

 (my daughter's husband) who has had 

 experience as a printer, to set my tj-pe 

 and do job work, and I wish to secure 

 enough to keep him busy. I have no 

 rent to pay, and my principal object is to 

 receive work enough to keep him busy 

 all of the time, rather than to make any 

 great profit on his work; hence I shall 

 make .special prices on small lots of 

 printed note heads and envelopes — so 

 low that a man who does not write more 

 than one letter a week can afford to use 

 printed stationery. I have biuglit sev- 

 eral new fonts of type especialh' adapted 

 for this kind of work. It is called 

 Engravers Gothic, and is the neatest 

 thing in this line that I ever saw. I will 

 send loo .sheets of paper with your name, 

 address, and business, printed at the top, 

 all made into a pad so there will be no 

 loose sheets, and loo envelopes, with 

 your name, address and business printed 

 in the upper left hand corner, postpaid, 

 (remember that) for only I1.25I It 

 makes no dilTerence where you live in 

 the U. S., this lot of printed stationery, 

 enough to write 100 letters, will be de- 

 livered to you for only I1.25. The pa- 

 per u.sed will be the best white wove, 7- 

 11). Wawasa, and the envelopes extra sup- 

 erfine, while wove, XXX, high cut. The 

 material is the best of its kind, and the 

 work will be strictly first chuss. 



I will also club the Review with this 

 lot of stationery. I will send you the 

 Review for one year, and this lot of 100 

 sheets of paper, and 100 envelopes, "post-
