A Sample Dose On Advance In Paper Prices

Here is a sample of what the printer is up against these days on paper prices, all grades of paper having advanced tremendously within the past year or so. The Democrat’s supply of a medium-priced blotting paper having become exhausted we consulted the latest available price list of the paper house from which we had bought the last lot and found that it was quoted at $6.50 per cwt. Of course, the paper houses for a long time have not guaranteed quotations, hut have plainly stated in all their correspondence that “prices are subject to change without notice.” We ordered 100 pounds, 500 sheets, of the blotting paper, and Saturday when the bill arrived it was for. $15.05! Nearly three times the price quoted in the catalog.
