In comparison with the volume' of busi ness these1 hardships have proved a more severe blow to the small publish er than to the owners of the bis dal lies In the large cities. The larger pajpers are supplied on contracts that Is; they agree with, tfee . manufacturer to use a given amount in a given time at a fixed price.
