Washington., Cold Buckwheats Unskilful printing, like cold buckwheats, is a total loss. Trouble is a fellow always orders in good faith. And it isn’t ’til the goods are actually laid before him that the “Total Loss” is discovered. That’s why some people are particular where they eat and where they order printing. We print every job as though it were a regular stickler for quality. This is the sort of work we like best to do. Besides we have to live with our memories. Our phone is one-o-three.
