Western Newspaper Union,

Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:

We have had an offer made us by the Central Newspaper Union, of Davenport, whereby we can get ready-prints, without advertising, at 2c.25 per quire cheaper than we are now paying you for the same containing advertising. We shall be glad to stay with you, if you
50 can make us prices to meet these figures. Unless you can do equally well, you will please notify us and discontinue shipment of ready-prints
75 next week.

Awaiting your reply, we remain

Yours truly, (84)

159 Messrs. Jacquin & Co.,

321 Main St.,

Decatur, Ill. Gentlemen:

We hereby accept your contract of the 16th inst., whereby we are to run your six-inch single column advertisement in the weekly
25 edition of our paper for the sum of $6.00, payment to be made upon completion of contract. Your advertisement will start in our next issue;50 and we will place your name on our mailing list.

Yours respectfully, (62)

160 Mr. Lester V. Baderman,

114 North 28th Ave., Omaha, Nebr.

Dear Sir:                 

We have your letter of recent date and also sample of the purple paper. The sample you sent us does not contain any
25 wax whatever. Of course, this does not at all compare with ours. The quality which we have been furnishing you and which we quoted you on last
60 week is far superior. If you will give it a test, we feel sure you will be convinced of this fact.

In a day or
75 two we will send you a sample of poorer quality at a lower price. It may answer your purpose; but it cannot give the satisfaction
100 which our No. 1 does. It seems hardly possible for us to get enough stock to fill our orders for this No. 1;125 and the demand is increasing. We will always protect you first, of course, as you are one of our oldest and best customers.

In reference
150 to the fibre, it seems as though there was some mistake in the shipping-room in marking same. However, we believe you will find it is what
175 you ordered. You may charge up to us the time, expense, etc. of re-marking the bundles. We have written and telegraphed about the next lot
200 and are in hopes same will reach you in plenty of time.

Awaiting your further favors, we remain

Very respectfully, (224)

161 Inland Box & Label Co.,

1503 Blake St.,

Denver, Colo. Gentlemen:

We are just finishing the printing of a pamphlet of city ordinances for this city, and would like to have an estimate of what
25 you will charge for binding same. There will be 124 pages; and we want them stapled and the backs pasted on. There
50 are to be 500 copies; 200 of them will have to be finished by the 31st inst. There is no hurry for the remaining
75 300; and you could furnish them at your leisure. Let us hear from you by return mail.

Yours truly, (96)

Sioux City Newspaper Union,

Sioux City, Iowa. Gentlemen:

Replying to your favor of the 22d in reference to your order No. 7604, would request that you return to
25 us the 12 pt. Post Old Style lower case. We will send you the Schoeffer Old Style lower case at once by prepaid express.

Regretting
50 this mistake, we remain

Yours truly, (57)

Messrs. Joe M. Chappie & Co.,

Ashland, Wisconsin. Gentlemen:

We are just in receipt of your reply to our telegram, and in reference to the same would say that it will be impossible for
25 us to ship this rule today, as it is not in stock and will have to be cut to order.

We will, however, see that
50 it goes forward on Monday.

Yours truly, (62)

Messrs. Brown-Lipe & Co.,

2328 Indiana Avenue,

Syracuse, N. Y. Gentlemen:

We have wired you this A. M. thus: "Wire mill to rush Omaha paper immediately, answer if ready," and now confirm same. Since wiring you, however,25 we are in receipt of your letter of the 20th inst. stating that you advised the mill to ship the order flat. We wish that
50 you would instruct them also to follow the shipment with tracer as we are in receipt of a letter from our

customer in Omaha stating
75 that if we cannot ship it immediately to cancel the order, as they must have it at once and can get it elsewhere.

To explain
100 the matter, would say that the order was given originally for the natural color in 40 lb. weight and was sold on a sample from
25 a mill which is near by. They have the paper in sheets; but we substituted yours, knowing they would prefer the color of your
150 paper. Had we ordered from the party whom we originally intended to order from, we would have had the paper shipped by this time. Hence,175 you can see our anxiety to have no delay in this paper's reaching our customer. Anything you can do to hasten it we shall appreciate.200 We hope to establish a trade that will be of some account in future in your line.

Yours truly, (219)

25 Little Giant lead cutter.

We ship you by C. R. I. & P. freight today, 75 pounds of old type metal to apply on the

Twelfth and Howard Sts.,

Omaha, Nebr. Gentlemen:

In reply to your favor of the 16th, will say that we could go to work at once on your printing if you see
25 fit to place your order with us. Our total cost for the work would be $90.75; and we will sign
50 contract to deliver same before March 1st.

Yours truly, (103)

Mr R. M. Smith,

4341 Armour Ave., Chicago, 111. My dear Sir:

Your favor of yesterday received. I am very much pleased to know that you have added the new line of paper to your stock. I
25 am sure you will be successful with it, as you were with the

others. You may be assured I will help you all I can
50 in the way of samples, information, quotations, etc.

Messrs. Ramsey & Mulhern,

43 Hammond St.,

Philadelphia, Pa. Gentlemen:

Some few days ago I wrote you a letter stating the nearest sizes I had to your order for Parchment paper, and the amount
25 of waste you would have to stand. Please let me hear from you by return mail in regard to this, as I have a chance to
50 dispose of the entire stock at a fair price. If you can wait two or three weeks, I can have the same made at the
75 mill and then there would be no waste. Kindly reply at once.

Yours very truly, (91)

Mr. James H. Bevans,                                   

122 Merchant St.,

Decatur, Ill. Dear Sir:

When you sent the last shipment of electrotypes for your Scott's Emulsion advertisement, you ordered us to run same until March 1st, at which
25 time you said you would send us a new set of plates. As the same have never arrived, we write you to ask whether you
50 have failed to make shipment, or whether same have been lost in shipping.

Trusting to hear from you by return mail, we remain

Yours truly, (75)
