It originally appeared on the same page as the column "The Composing Room" conducted by Alexander Lawson, but may not be related to that content. Scanned by the author from the original. (Note: The copyright for this issue of The Inland Printer was not renewed as would then have been required. I believe that it therefore passed into the public domain upon the expiration of its original copyright in 1982.
