doTti't cost much but they seem to do the business ef
fectively.   Try 'em!
When you next go into a printing
ofiice and ask for a price on a piece
of printing, the printer will not grab
a pencil and start making a lot of
figures but will reach for a little
black book, turn, to the proper page
and give you a price for the completed job.
And if you go into another print
shop the same thing will occur and
you will get tha same price, if the
printer is not a chiseler. The days
of getting "guesstimates" of from
$5 to $15; on the same printing jobs
are over. If they .aren't over, somo-
body1 is likely to hear about it. Just
as the automobile dealer looks in his
"Blue TBook" instead of at your car
to give you the trade^-in 'allowance,
your printer will look in his "Little
Black  Book."
Every print shop is receiving by
registered mail a "Price Determination Schedule—Graphic [Arts Code."
This "Little Black Book" fixes the
price of about everything that is or
can be produced in a printing ofiice,
from a postal card! to a poster,-from
a calling card to a wedlding anT
nouncement, from a letter head to a
store bill, from a birth announcement to an auction bill.
Prices are given on both small and
large quantities, on different qualities and! weights of paper, and on the
amount of composition required to
set up the job. And printers are
commanded not to discount those
prices by mora than ten per cent.
If a printer operates a small enough
shops, gets permission first and can
shew a profit he may sell at 2<J per
cent off list prices.
According- to the announcement
accompanying the "Price Determination Schedule," this is the first and
only price determination schedule
that the NRA has approved and
made official anywhere in the United
States, and that-it has been written
into the federal laws.
The printing industry probably
needs such a price list more than any
other industry. Too much printing
has heen turned out at a less, be-_
cause of chiselers, for the good of
the industry of those dealing with it.
The party seeking estimates of bids
on a job has been "bewildered by the-
wide range of prices. He has felt
that either the low man was willing
to do it at a loss or the high man
was trying to gouge him. Now he
will know that his price includes the
cost of production and a reasonable
profit.
Such a price list has been used by
many in the industry for some years,
the prices being biased, on the cost of
production in well managed and well
equipped   shops   paying   reasonable
i wages.    The  government  has   com-
piled! its list from the printers' lists
and experience, and therefore it ,may
be considered fair to all;, concerned.

i normal "uantitiss at tTfie nrice set in

printing   industry   are   ahead.—Ann

Wednesday ^eyening, TMay *.&, .1934,
the centennial; program of the local
Methodist church opened .with a public dinner at 6;3fl5S'cU>ck, when many
old friends, met agafa aiid acquaintances were rgtte*fe<3i At 7:80 the
program- in the auditorium opened
with music by the choir followed by
Dr. A. S. Hall, who for 45 minutes
gave an interesting account of the
early evangelistic work, hardships
endured, their perseverance and de-
temination to succeed, in establishing
a church in this section.*
Dr. D. C. Littlejohn of Flint gave
reminiscences of his pastorate here
in 19019-11. Dr. Addis "TLeeson of
Flint, former district superintendent
of the Ann Arbor district, brought
greetings and best wishes to the congregation.
On Thursday evening, in spite of
the fact that this |program, "The
Building of the &}&$* Tha-dr.--been
given three times previously, a full
house greeted the players'who ably
presented those elements that make
for growth of the Sunday school and
development of character. Mrs.
TEdith Gross gave a most interesting
i history of the Sunday school, year
i by year, from 1860 to the present
time.

A very pretty home wedding took
