To BALL a A:AY, Dr. T?-m?-GROCERS What's the Use of Waiting ? "They " 9ay "all things come to him wno ?waits," hut we have no been waiting, and wo don't propose to wait. Wo KNOW our prices are right, our work A-l, and if you don't bring us work wo will como alter it, in ono way or another, either by bringing to your notico our prices, facilities and quality oi execution, or porsonal interviews. Wo are not grumbling ; fhr from it. We'vo had our jharo; wo are still getting our share. But we havo placed at your disposal a modern, and almost ideal, printing establishment, with r;uch facilitios as to command admiration from all ith whom we havo business intercourse. Wo are not waiting; havon't time to wait An (Jp-to-Date Printing Office. One of the vows tho writer made when ho was "Jovil" in a country printing office wsa, in effect, that if ho over owned or man? aged a printing establishment, it would bo kept clean, at least by comparison. At that timo he hardly folt tho forco of tho vow, for ho has learned aftor years of oxporienco that it is necessary immediately after ono "going ovor" to start at tho beginning and go over it all again. It never onds?just like a housekoopor's duties?but not like tho boy who soes no uso in washing his f?co becnuEO it will got soiled again. But, a clean printing establishment is just us necessary for tho proper oxecution of work in our lino as light and heat and power. And tho vow has been kept. Como and see. We Do Not Believe Thoro is another city In tho State which sends Buch a small propor? tion of its orders for printing and blank books away to our Northern friends as Koanoke. All honor to our bankers and business mon; that is?most all of it. Wo must rcservo a little, as this is our "own country." We Print Anything That can bo desired or devised from movablo typo, paper nnd ink? and brains. Brains nro just as important in our work as paper or ink or typo. It is tho combination that tells. Wo do not mean to be egotistical at all; but combining those things to bring forth a harmo? nious result has been our study?and wo do claim to know our Business right thoroughly. All 'logeiher Ono of tho things which has contributed largely to tho success of our establishment is tho systematic working "together" of all our forces in all departments. This has reduced to a minimum tho "lost motion" which is usually to bo found in largo industries. If a minuto can bo saved hero, another thoro, it is done?an hour is gained?thus wo take care of tho fleeting moments. Five minutes RoanokcVa. Received of-_ BLACK & WHITE, Attorneys at Law, P. O. Box 26. Ronnoko, Va. wasted daily by each of our employes would mean tho interest on $10,000 a year. In theso days of closo margins each moment ol tinio must bo productive Quite Recently, Too Tho times aro hard, money tight, everything handled oconoir. ically?but it cannot possibly stay that way. So wo aro pushing ("not shoving") ahead, just us though good times wero upon us. Wo cannot atlord to lag behind or worry; but in limes of peace wo aro preparing for war. And when it comes wo will have an oslnb iisnmont tnat can uiko euro oi anytning mat comes?aau things thct do not como now. Recently wo placed an order tor ono of tho largest lots oi now typo ever given at ono timo in Virginia. Our Establishment Is just opposito and overlooking the lawn of Hotel Roanokc, (ono of the finest hotels in tho State,) which gives us a magnificent, bright, refreshing view at all times. Our business ofiico and press-room aro on tho ground floor (along with our prices). Each floor and depart? ment is connected with tho ollico by Electric Bells, Speaking Tubes, snd Elevators ; and all departments aro bountifully supplied with nil kinds of Labor and Time-Saving Appliances. In Our Press-Room Can bo seen tho rapid, diminutive and monster cylinder presses including tho famous "Promise Keeper," turning out thousands upon thousands of sheets every day. Our largest and best paper cutting machine, tho automatic cutting knife sharp? ener, and tableting appurtenances aro on this floor. Tho wonderful and powerfi;' electric motor, which propels tho machines on all three floors, is also on this floor. Ovor in ono corner, hardly noticeable, is kept in readiness, as a supplementary power, an improved (ins Engine, to be attached at momentary notice, in case of accident to tho electric motor, or for other causes. This precludes tho possibility of a " hole" on tho power question. On the Second Floor A long row of small presses, used for cards, envelopes, statements, noto heads, tickets and small work. Hero, also, is probably the most wonderful pieco of mechanism in our establishment?tbo Railroad Ticket Printing Machine. Think of it tho next timo you purchase your ticket. Secured behind iron bars and double locks, it at once suggests government bonds, with all theso safeguards. Further Along On this floor is tho typo-sotting department, whoro expert minds and fingers think and act rapidly and correctly, interpreting at times hand? writing that would make Iloraco Grceley turn green with envy. Large, extra largo fonts of typo permit tho handling of vory largo orders in a most satisfactory and expeditious manner. Our forco in this department can set up about ns many pages in a day as a man cur read. A plentiful supply of Algebraical, Astronomical, Geometri? cal signs and characters, accente letters, and "odd sorts" enable us to handlo difficult and intricate work in special lines. On the Top Floor Is our Blank Book Manufactory, ruling machiens, including on which is probably tho largest south of Philadelphia; our various wiro stitchers, which will tako wiro from a spool, cut it tho proper length, shape it, and drive through a buck three-fourths of inch thick, or ono not so thick, 120 ft minuto; then our paging and numbering machines, board and paper cutters, book presses, wbich exert a pressure of twenty tons or more, perforating, punching and eyeleting machines, and tho engraving ' department?which latter is an innova? tion for this section. And Our Stock-Room! If some of our friends who usually buy a quire or so of paper at a time, could look in upon this department, they would not cense won? dering for days. We. do not exaggerate a particle when wo say you can see A TON OF A KIND j yes, TEN TONS OF A K IND. You say: "What, ton tons of ono kind of paper in a town liko Koanoke?" That's what wo said. Como and see. And, besides, hundreds of Other kind- of plain, fancy and unique; there are stacks of card-board, of a kind, as high HS a tour., und he need not bo a Lilliputian, cither. What Can We Not Do With such facilities? A card, n circular, noto head, envelope, pam phlet, price list, catalogue, book, railroad rate sheet or timo table, a ruled blank or a 1000-page ledger, on any or all, we assure our friends we nro AT HOME, from January 1st to December 31st.
