You buyers who consider low prices only are sure to get cheated sooner or later, for the printer who Atera you a ridiculously low price today will make it up on you and more later on." The speaker advised buyers of printing to use more direct advertising methods to supplement newspaper, billboard and cinema advertising.

"One swallow does not make the spring, neither does one piece of printing make a successful advertising campaign." said Mr. Eatey. AUTISTIC EXHIBIT The meeting was conducted under leadership of Kim Crabill, with E. M. Boddy acting as chairman.

Among euesta introduced were O. K. Nagel, foreman of the 192 grand Jury; Nick Harris, detective, and Miss Letitia. Gallaher-Princell, prima donna from Chicago Following a brief address by E. G.

Judah. managing director of the Commercial Board, who told of alma of the board to serve business men and organizations, Mr. Boddy told of the work of The Times-Mirror Printing and Binding House during the last year. Artistic exhibits of printing by The Times-Mirror house were ranged on all sides of the ball room. The exhibits included the largest map in the west, printed from a single plate, being a precinct map of Los Angeles.

Copies of the last issue of the telephone book were also shown. More than 800.000 copies of these books, containing 960 pages each, were printed, the binding boing completed in three weeks. The pages of these books, placed end to end, would encircle the globe with a lapover of 1250 miles. In printing the books, 1,250,000 pounds of newspaper print were used together with 7000 pounds of adheslves, 19, GOO yards of super-cloth and 13,565 pounds of ink. Mr.

Boddy said that the proof sheets sent out to buyers last year would have filled 4200 live-ton trucks and that the roll-print paper, strung end to end, would be more than 21,000 miles long. The gold-leaf used in 1923, he said, totaled 40,000 sheets, enough to gold-plate the front of the Blltmore with a sufficient amount left over to make the Blltmore ball room look like the municipal auditorium of the New Jerusalem.

GUILT IS DENIED So far the Perry brothers and Montejo deny that they are guilty of robbing anyone. The hold-up of the Alpine-North Broadway branch of the Pacific Southwest Bank took place during the busiest hours of the afternoon.

Ada saved the oil for food, on the days when the trapa yielded nothing or she herself was too weak to make the rounds of those she had set. For a month, she was too sick to go trapping. Those were the days whn Knight must have written the entries in his dtry on which Nolce bases his blasting accusation that the woman deliberately starved her charge to death, in order thst she might berseir survive.
