They advertised this fact, then found that it was impossible to get a printer to print the new rate cards, so they had to postpone the increase until May 3rd. That is not a joke. It is a fair summary of the printing game as I have found it for some time past. To get any printing done at all seems to call for more than mere love or money. To get a printer to tie himself up to a regular monthly periodical seems to be tougher than winning the lottery. All of which is the start of the alibi for the late arrival of this issue. After much battling, quite by accident, I came across a printer fellow who was civil to me. It took some time to recover from the shock, but now he is on the job, and it looks as though it will be possible to have a June issue out on time, if we skip the April and May issues! A sad state of affairs, but the prospects are much brighter. For years past the printing job and its economics have been like the sticky stuff on the fly-paper, holding back any possibility of turning out the sort of periodical I know you would appreciate; so let’s all join in wishing the new printer lots of luck. Yours faithfully, A. G. HULL.
