Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 July 1912 — Those New Telephone Cards. [ARTICLE]

Those New Telephone Cards.

Patrons of the Jasper County Telephone Co., who may happen to be readers of the Rensselaer Republican, will remember the fit of the Republican editors about a year ago because The Democrat was successful in its bid for printing the telephone cards issued at that time, and how it took on about the weight or thickness of the cardboard used, complaining that it not as heavy a board as we had agreed to furnish nor as heavy as the Republican had bid on. The board was precisely the kind we agreed to furnish and precisely the same' that the Republican was told to bid on, so we were informed. But our bld was lowest, hence the “holler." Recently a new card was to be gotten out and bids were asked for on the same weight board as the old ones, printed by us last year. The Republican’s bid was a trifle lower than ours, and they got the work. We’re not hollering nor saying a word, but we want you to comprre the thickness of the old cards with the sliinpsy, lightweight board in the new cards. That’s all. ' While we haven’t the slightest doubt but “the auto parade judges” would say the new card is four times as heavy as the old one, the the telephone patron can judge for himself, and if he has any trouble about the cards curling up and forming a tube he should procure a piece of wide wooden board and tack the cards onto the boardusing two cards, of course, as they are printed on both sides.
