It occasionally happens that persons in charge of social functions in communities which get a lot of free advertising for such affairs in the county papers send out of the county to have printing done. They have a somewhat peculiar conception of what constitutes a "fair deal."
It may be said, however, to the credit of nearly every community in the county that such instances are rare. The local printing offices are well equipped for doing nearly all kinds of printing, and the local papers do more to advance the interests of every community in the county than any other agency.
It is a matter of simple justice that they should have all the printing patronage that the people have to give so long as their work is well done and their charges reasonable.
