When they have a little J job of printing they send it away to Portland without a ■ thought of giving the Herald or the Sentinel office a chance to do it. One business man makes it a practice to take orders for a line of printing in common use here that can be furnished by the Herald as cheaply, as well printed and much more promptly than by the Portland firm to I which he sends it. Is it not about time that the rule be made to work both ways? We will suggest that the next time you get a bill or monthly statem ent from a local store you examine it and see if you find the name and address, of a Portland firm of printers in small type between the | lines of ruling. If you do, just ask the merchant why he does not buy his printing a t home.
