Dear Mrs Marble:

Maybe you've heard this story - but it's good enough to repeat
any day.

Recently, a firm installed a large piece of machinery.  When
everthing was set, ready to let'er rip, the thing simply wouldn't
start 'nohow.'

Engineers were called in right and left, and each in turn fiddled
around, but no luck.  She just wouldn't go, and that was that!
Finally as a last resort, the foreman called in a two-bit
mechanic. (So they thought)

In he strolled with his small sledge hammer, and walked over to
the machine.  He glanced here and there for a moment, and then
set his eyes on one spot.  He struck three blows with the hammer;
and lo and behold, much to the surprise of the on-lookers, off
she went!

'Just how much do we owe you?' yelled the foreman.

'One thousand and three dollars,' replied the mechanic.

'What's the thousand and three bucks for?' asked the foreman.

'Three bucks for three blows, and a thousand bucks for knowing
where to hit,' the mechanic retorted.

So, in the long run, if a fellow knows his business, it's a cinch
and if not, it's too bad for him and the other fellow he's doing
it for.

We've got a grand bunch of mechanics working here, and believe
me, they know 'where' to hit' when it comes to numbering machines,
making them and repairing them.

You are taking no chances when you let them serve you.  As a
matter of fact, it's the best assurance you have of turning out
Accurate Numbering, and at the same time, saving yourself time,
worry, and expense.
                                   Numerically yours,

                                   John Sample
