Regardless of what you need in printing, we are
always glad of an opportunity to figure with you.
There arc many forms that you use daily in your
office that can be made right here in our plant
at reasonable prices.
All we ask is an opportunity to quote you pri-
ces on what you might need. If you have a class
of work that we rfre unable to handle we will
tell you. We know that some forms are not
bought in large quantities and it is not practical
♦
to buy them locally. But, we do know that many
forms are bought away from home that can be
produced here as cheap as you can buy them else-
where.

Coatesville, Ind., May 16.—Old Man
Millman had the time of his life Sun-
day—he preached his own funeral
sermon.
The 88 year old farmer, minus a
collar and tie, but wearing a striped
shirt and an unpresed suit, became
so worked up he squeakily sang a
solo, “When the Roll Is Called Up
Yonder, I’ll be There.”
“When my time comes all I ask is
that they let me die unremembered
and let me lie in my grave unmo-
lested,” he said, pausing to bite into
an orange and take a swig of water
from a medicine bottle.
The farfare made that of a circus
seem puny. Hundreds of packed au-
tomobiles paralyzed traffic around the
frame Canaan *Church, three miles
northwest of here. Families took
their lunches^. Some had breakfast
under trees around the church, for
twenty darloads spent the night there
waiting for the service.
Five thousand persons had crowded
into the vicinity. More than 500 jam-
.med the little church that normally
holds fewer than 200. Every inch of
space contained a listener. Outside,
men took turns standing on shoulders.
’ .Millman stood erect at the pulpit.
In front was his casket, fashioned
from a tree on his farm. Near by
were the pallbearerbs, who received
$5 each in advance.
“Columbus wanted
own sermon. So did
Napoleon’s wife,” he
they didn’t. I am, *
“What is a funeral?
a description of a man’s life. They
have no trouble preaching a good
man’s funeral, It’s different with a
bad man’s funeral. Now I’ve lived
just a moderately moral life. I don't
know how to preach a funeral, but
I’m doing the best I can.”
Before the service Millman posed in
front of his tombstone, imported from
Switzerland, and said, “Hain’t that a
fine stone? Didn’t I make a fine se-
lection? It’s the best in the United
States?”
Tamar Huber, 96, sister of Millman
refused to attend the service, saying
It was silly.
Millman replied, ‘‘You’re getting
old and stupid.”
