Y ours very tru ly ,
P a c if ic P a p e r C o .
G e n t l e m e n : W e certainly are very m uch pleased to see the catalogue
issued by the Salem In d ian School, Chem aw a, O re., w hich you were
good enough to send to us, as m entioned in your letter of Septem ber 29th.
T h e catalogue is certainly very interesting, both because it is printed
by In d ian s, and because they have really executed quite a nice appearing
job. Most people w ould have th o u g h t it necessary to have p rin ted the
w hole job on coated paper and th u s, to a certain ex ten t, w ould have lost
considerable of th e in terestin g character of the catalogue. By in terleav
ing w ith “ stra tln n o re ” it has helped o u t the character of th e book
w onderfully.
W e have often tried to get people to do th is because it really is
desirable and certainly has no opjections w hatever, unless it is th e m a t
ter of price, and th is should not alw ays be th e consideration w hen a
good job is w anted. W e note, too, w ith pleasure th a t they h a \e used
R hododendron cover for the cover, and we surely are well represented
in the book.
Should it so happen th a t you care to express to M r. W adsw orth our
opinion of the book it certainly would be a pleasure for us to do so.
Y ours very tru ly ,
