PRINTING 



After selling our printing department eight years ago, one 

 of the young men (Charles L. Parker), who had been work- 

 ing for us, decided to start a printing business of his own. 

 He will be very glad to quote on any work you may want 

 done. With much pleasure I recommend him and am sure 

 you will find him reliable in every way, and we both will 

 appreciate any order you may place with him. Send all 

 correspondence about printing direct to
