Good Advice to Business Men!
It is an established fact, that the Merchants and business men of town can actually get bigger pictures put upon their bills, at a little less price, in New York than can be done in Upper Sandusky. It would therefore, be advisable for these people to get their work done in N. York and thereby get bigger pictures and save cost. We were told by a friend that he was asked the question, "why didn't you get your bills printed in Cincinnati?" "You could get them cheaper." We would also ask, why don't we all buy our goods in New York or Cincinnati? We could get a better article for less money than can be bought at the stores in this place. We only mention these facts to show the inconsistency of men who go abroad to get work done.
Let there be no press in Upper Sandusky for a few years and then the benefits of a press could be seen and would be felt. If a press is of any earthly use to this town, why don't you get your work done here in place of going abroad to get it done? We might point out many inconsistencies in some of the business men of our town, but will leave them for another occasion. But before closing this article, we will say, that there is a vast deal more difference between the prices received for goods in this town and New York or Cincinnati than there is between the prices of printing here and in either of those places.
