PRINTING
It has been the custom heietoforc, and will probably remain so to a
great extent, for our merchants and business men generally to send
North to have their printing done, simply because it can be done there
at a little lower figure than here. If our people would discontinue
patronizing such men, they would soon see the policy, if not the jus
tice, in having their work done at home. Calicos are not manufactured
in the South, and hence the merchant must send where it is made, hut
here we have printing offices all around us, doing work at a very small
advance on northern prices, and still the work is sent away. We hope
the time is not for distant, when our merchants will awake to their in
terests and patronize home institutions. It is a wrong practice and
should be condemned.
