The type has to be set, the proof has to be corrected, the press has to be made ready for printing before a sheet can be printed. After this work is done, the only expense is for the paper stock and for the operation of the printing press, By ordering in quantities you save paying more than once for the preparatory operations. fl fl Franklin would approve of this new order of things because it’s thrifty.
