What's the Use of Waiting? "Thoy " say "all things como to him wno waits," but we have no boon waiting, and we don't propose to wait. "Wo KNOW our pricea are right, our work A-l, and if you don't Roanoke, Va. M_ To BALL & MAY Dr. Taim?_GROCERS bring us work we will come alter it, in ou? way or another, either by bringing to your notice our prices, facilities and quality ol oxoeution, or personal interviews. We are not grumbling; far from it. We've had our aharo; wo uro still getting our share. But we have placed at your disposal a modern, and almost ideal, printing establishment, with r:uch facilities as to command admiration from all ith whom we have business intercourse. Wo are not waiting; haven't time to wait An Up-to-Date Printing Office. One of the vows tho writor made when he was "devil" in a country printing offico wss, in effect, that if ho ever owned or man? aged a printing establishment, it would be kept clean, at least by comparison. At that time ho hardly felt the forco of the vow, for he has learned after years of experience that it is necessary immediately after one "going over" to start at the beginning and go over it all again. It never onds?just like a housokoopor's duties?but not like tho boy who sees no use in washing his faco because it will got soiled again. But, a clean printing establishment is just as necessary for the proper execution of work in our lino as light and heat and power. And the vow has been kept. Como and bco. We Do Not Believe Tlioro is another city n the Stato which sends such a 3mall propor? tion of its ordors for printing and blank books away to our Northorn frionds as Koanoko. All honor to oor bankers and business mon; that is?most all of it. Wo must reserve a littlo, as this is our "own country." We Print Anything That can be desired or devised from movable type, papor and ink? and brains. Brains uro just as important in our work as paper or ink or typo. It is tho combination that tells. We do not moan to be egotistical at all; but combining theso things to bring forth a harmo? nious result has been our study?and we do claim to know our business right, thoroughly. All "logether Ono of tho things which has contributed largoly to the success of our establishment is the systematic working " together" of all our forces in all departments. Thia has reduced to a minimum the "lost motion" which ia usually to bo found in largo industries. If a minuto can bo saved here, another thore, it is done?an hour is gained?thus we take euro of tho fleeting moments. Five minutes Roanokb.Va. Rboeivko or , wasted daily by each of our employes would moan tho interest on $10,000 a year. In theso days of close mo.rgins each moment of timo must be productive. Quite Recently, Too Tho times are hard, money tight, everything handled econom? ically?but it cannot possibly stay that way. So wo aro pushing ("not shoving") ahead, just as though good times wero upon us. Wo cannot afford to lag behind or worry; but in limes of peace we uro preparing for war. And when it cornea we will havo an cstab risnmunt that can uiko cure 01 anyimng mm com us?ufiu things Che? do not como now. Recently wo placed an order ior ono of tho largest lots or now type over given at one time in Virginia. On the Second Floor A long row of small presses, used for cards, envelopes, statements, note heads, tickets and small work. Boro, also, is probably the most ?wonderful piece of mechanism in our establishment?the 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 thu typo-sotting department, "vhoro export minds and fingors think and act rapidly aqd correctly, interpreting at times hand? writing that would make Boraco Greeley turn green with envy. Large, extra largo fonts of typo permit tho handling of very large ordors in a most satisfactory and expeditious manner. Our forco in this department can set up about as many pages in a day us a man car read. A plentiful supply of Algebraical, Astronomical, Geometri? cal Bigns and characters, acconte letters, and "odd sorts" enable us to handle difficult and intricate work in special lines. On the Top Floor Is our Blank Book Manufactory, ruling machcins, including on which is probably tho largest south of Philadelphia; our various wire stitchers, which will take wiro from a spool, cut it tho proper length, shape it, and drive through a book three-fourths of inch thick, or one not ao thick, VlO a minute; then our paging and numbering machines, board and paper cuttois, book presses, which exert a pressure of twenty tons or more, perforating, punching anxU,eyoleting machines, and tho ongraving department?which latter is an innova? tion for thia section. * Our Establishment Is just opposite and overlooking tho lawn of Hotel Roanoke, (ono of tho finest hotels in tho State,) which gives us a magnificent, bright, refreshing view at all times. Our business offico and press-room are on tho ground floor (along with our prices). Each floor and depart? ment is connected with tho offico by Electric Bolls, Speaking Tubes, and Elovators; and all departments aro bountifully supplied with all kinds of Labor and Time-Saving Appliances. In Our Press-Room Can bo scon tho rapid, diminutive and monster cylinder prcssos including tho famous " Promise Keeper," turning out thousands upon thousands of sheets ovory day. Our lurgest and best papor cutting machino, tho automatic cutting knife sharp, enor, and tabloting appurtenances are on this floor. Tho wondorful and poworfw! olectric motor, which propels tho machines on all thrco floors, is also on this floor. Over in ono corner, hardly noticeable, is kept in readiness, as a supplementary power, an improved Gas Engine, to be attached at momentary notico, in case of accident to the olectric motor, or for other causes. This precludes tho possibility of a "holo" on the power question. And Our Stock-Room! If somo of our friends who usually buy a quiro or so of paper at a timo, could look in upon this department, thoy would not cease won? dering for days. We do not exaggerate a particlo when we say you can see A TON OP A KIND; yes, TEN TONS OF A KIND. You say: "What, ten tons of ono kind of paper in a town liko Koanoko?" That's what wo said. Como and seo. And, besides, hundreds of other kinds of plain, fancy and unique; there aro stacks of card-board, of a kind, as high as a mar., and he need not bo a Lilliputian, either. What Can We Not Do With such facilities? A card, a circular, noto head, envolopo, pain phlot, prico list, catalogue, book, railroad rato sheet or timo table, a ruled blank or a 1000-pago ledger, on any or all, wo assure our frionds wo aro AT HOME, from January 1st to Dccomber 31st.

This is flexible enough to be formed iuto ruffles, ruches and plait ings for the ?Ige. Thero aro also little capotes without any crown, tho hair show? ing In the middle. Hats of black spangled tullo promise to enjoy great favor for warm weather wear. They aro certainly very pretty and delicate looking. An Illustration is given of u now model for a capote. It is embroidered with jet and has u small, round crown, edged with cream Valenciennes luce, which forms a ruche around it. Near tho bonier of tho capote arc four largo jewels of turquoise und brilliants. The capote is edged by a plaiting of black tulle. An nlgrot of black velvet is placed at the side, and a ebon of turquoise ribbon rests on tho hair in front. .Tunic Chollet. The Ideal National Flower. When a flower is found which can arouso widepread and genuine patriotic enthusiasm or has become associated closely with some greut and universally beloved man or woman, it will becotuo tho national emblem without tho neces? sity of legislative action, except as a formal ratification of a univcrsul senti? ment. Under such circumstances only will people relegate their personal floral favorites to a second place. It will not matter, when this event hap? pens, whether it is a plant, useful to nian or a weed. It will become tho na? tional flower just tho same. It was this sentiment which inado tho thistle the national flower of Scotland und the cornflower tho national flower of the German empire, and it must be a simi? lar chain of circumstances which gives us a national flower.?Philadelphia Ledger. !.!:<;,VI, NOT!CIS4.
