ABOUT_
PRINTING!
yi FTER having been actively engaged in the Printing business
for twenty-nine years, I think I may without doing violence
to modesty claim to be an expert in that business. And speaking
as an expert I desire to say that the business men of Home are the
most liberal and at the same time the most discriminating patrons
of the “Art Preservative” I have ever served in any city. That is,
they willingly pay generous prices for first class work, lint they
quickly delect imposition in the way of shoddy paper, cheap ink,
inferior workmanship. I could swell my lean purse to plethoric
proportions in a short time by palming off straw paper and news
ink on my customers—and thereby destroy the business 1 have
spent years in building up. 1 will not do it. I am trying to keep
up with the procession and grow as Koine grows, but am not doing
work at cost, nor anything near it. But Ido claim to lie the only
man (with one exception) who has run a successful Job Printing
business in Koine. I have seen dozens of’em start out claiming to
do the “cheapest and best,” and they all died with the same com
plaint—inferior workmanship, prices too low.
This summer I have greatly increased the facilities of my office,
added new styles of type, increased the quantity of Imdy type, put
in labor-saving appliances, and am now better prepared than ever
to handle the Printing business of Rome. If you are not already
my customer, you are standing in your own light. Face about,
come to headquarters and get your Stationery, and
feel Setter.

The title of the Sells Brothers
enormous enterprise is not an emp
ty name, nor a vain boast. Its
claim is just, as it is; thily “The
Big Show of the World.” Not only
because of the unparalled features
presented,its unequaled perform

cuses and elevated stages, its all
overshadowing immensity, its
grand zoological exhibit including
fifty monster cage menagerie of
rare wild animals.
Its Royal Regal Hippodrome
and Gala-Day Sport. Its Imperial
Spectacular Triumph Pilgrimage
to Mecca. Its grand, gorgeous and
bewildering street pageant; but
also on account of the new depart
ure it has originated and inauger
ated all new features, improving
and perfecting its performance,
equalizing low prices of everything
by cutting its price of admission
to fifty cents, which is a fearless
stroke of managerial policy, send
ing terror to weak-headed rivals
whose pigmy brains have been
racked to meet exigencies of dull
times—other showshave cut down
