CAN ANYTHING
coo
Do you think Cranes Bond too good for your
businccs stationery? Can any. paper be too good
for so important a purpose ?
Cranes Bond costs more than the average
bond paper. But why? Because it is made of all
new rags-the very best rags obtainable. Such
rags cost more than any other material. The
methods followed in the Crane Mills are more
careful, more thorough, more painstaking. They
must be, because Cranes Bond is used for the
most valuable papers in the world, for govern
ment bonds by eighteen great nations, of which
our own is one.
Such is Crane's Bond. Is it too good for you?
Are not the very qualities which make it so dc'
sirable as a government bond the very ones you
would like to give to your letter paper?
