We wonder, however, just how many people have yet to discover that we are head quarters in this community for genuine engraving? Our craftsmanship is as fine as human skill and superb materials can make it, Yet we have found it possible to bring the ad vantages of genuine engraving within the means of every person, and every business firm. A generous supply of engraved visiting cards, for instance, costs only $1.65 and this includes engraving the plate! A year's supply of engraved or monogrammed social stationery costs only $3.95 including the plate. Business letterheads on fine Hammermill Bond are only $7.95 - with no extra charge for engraving the steel plate. Surely then, there is no need to do without the prestige and beauty of genuine engraving. Won't you plan to visit us? See how much we have to offer and for how little! Statesman Publishing Co.
