What's the Use of Waiting ? "Thoy " Bay "all tilings como to him wno waits," but we have no been waiting, and we don't propose to wait. "We KNOW our price* are right, our work A-l, and if you don't Roanoka, v?._18j M_ To BALL ? MAY Dr. farms_GROCERS bring us work we will come alter it, in ou way or another, either by bringing to jour notice our prices, facilities and quality o2 execution, or personal interviews. We are not grumbling; far from it. We've had our share; we are etill 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 (Jp-tO-Date Printing Office. One of the vows tho writor mode when he was "devil" in a country printing office was, in effect, that if he over owned or man? aged a printing establishment, it would be kept clean, at least by comparison. At that time he 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 novor ends?just like a housekeeper's duties?but not like tho boy who sees no use in washing his faco because it will get soiled again. But, a clean printing establishment is just as necessary for tho proper execution of work in our lino as light and heat and power. And the vow has been kept. Como and see. We Do Not Believe Thoro is ar.othor city L tho State which sends such a small propor? tion of its ordors for printing and blank books away to our Northern friends as Koanoko. All honor to our bankers and business men; that is?most all of it. Wo must reserve a little, as this is our "own country." We Print Anything That can bo desired or devised irom movable type, paper and ink? and brains. Brains nro just as important in our work as paper or ink or type. It is tho combination that tells. Wo do not mean to be egotistical at all; but combining thc30 things to bring forth a harmo? nious result has been our study?and we do claim to know our business right thoroughly. AM logether Ono of tho things which has contributed largely to the success of our establishment is tho systematic working "together" of all our forces in all departments. This has reduced to a minimum the "lost motion" which is usually to bo found in largo industries. If a in inn to can bo saved here, anothor there, it is done?an hour is gained?thus wo take caro of the fleeting moments. Five minutes ROANOKE ,Va.~ ReOEIVEO OF_ wasted daily by each of our employes would mean tho interest on $10,000 a year. In these days of close margins each moment of time must bo productive. Quite Recently, Too The 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 wcro upon us. Wo cannot afford to lag behind or worry; but in times of peace we aro preparing for war. And whon it comes we will have an estab lisnment thut can isku caro or atiytmng that comes?a.ui things the* do not como now. Keconlly wo placed an order for one of the largest lots oi new typo ever 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. Here, also, is probably the most wondorful piece of mechanism in our establishment?the Kail rood Ticket Printing Machine. Think of it tho next time you purchase your tickot. Secured behind iron bars and doublo locks, it at once suggests government bonds, with all these safeguards. Further Along On this floor is the typo-setting department, -vhore expert minds and fingers think and act rapidly and correctly, interpreting at times hand? writing that would make Horace Greeley turn green with envy. Large, extra largo fonts of typo permit tho handling of very largo orders in a most satisfactory and oxpeditious manner. Our force in this department can set up about as many pages in a day as a man car read. A plentiful Bupply of Algebraical, Astronomical, Geometri? cal signs and characters, accentc letters, and "odd sorts" enable us to handle difficult and intricate work in special lines. On the Top Floor Is our Blank Hook Manufactory, ruling machoins, including on which is probably the largest south of Philadelphia; our various wire stitchers, which will tako wire from a spool, cut it the proper length, shape it, and drive through a book throe-fourths of inch thick, or ono not so thick, 1"0 a minute; then our paging and numbering machines, board and paper cutteis, book presses, which exert a pressuro of twenty tons or more, perforating, punching and eyeleting machines, and tho ongraving department?which latter is an innova? tion for this section. Our Establishment Is just opposite and overlooking tho lawn of Hotel Koanoko, (ono of tho finest hotels in tho State,) which gives us a mognifieent, bright, refreshing view at all times. Our business office and press-room are on tho ground floor (along with our prices). Each floor and depart? ment is connected with the office by Electric Bolls, Speaking Tubes, nnd Elevators; and all departments aro bountifully supplied with all kinds of Labor and Time-Saving Appliances. In Our Press-Room Cnn be seen the rapid, diminutive and monstor cylinder pressos including the famous "Promise Keeper," turning out thousands upon thousands of sheets every day. Our largest and best paper cutting machine, tho automatic cutting knifo sharp? ener, and tableting appurtenances aro on this floor. Tho wonderful and powcrfw' electric motor, which propels tho machines on all thrco floors, is also on this floor. Ovor in ono corner, hardly noticeable, is kept in readiness, as a supplementary power, an improved Gas Engine, to bo attached at momentary notice, in caso of accident to the electric motor, or for other causes. This precludes tho possibility of a "hole" on the power question. And Our Stock-Room! If somo of our friends who usually buy a quiro or so of paper at a time, could look in upon this department, they would not ccoso won? dering for days. Wo do not exaggcrato a particle when wo say you can seo 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. Come and seo. And, besides, hundreds of other kinds of plain, fancy and unique; thero aro stacks of card-board, of a kind, as high as a man, and ho need not be a Lilliputian, either. What Can We Not Do With such facilities? A card, a circular, note head, envelopo, pam phlet, price list, cataloguo, book, railroad rato sheet or time table, a ruled blank or a 1000-pago ledger, on any or all, wo assuro our friends wo aro AT HOME, from January 1st to December 31st.
