There are “cheap John" printing
offices just like there are ‘‘cheap
John" dry goods stores. When you
buy goods of a “cheap John” store
you get “cheap John’’ goods that are
unsatisfactory and seldom worth the
price you pay. It’s the same way
with the “cheap John” printing of-
fice—unsatisfactory service, botch
work and finally big prices for the
service you get. The Progress Is not
a "cheap John" printing concern.
Give us your printing orders and get
legitimate and satisfactory service at
legitimate and reasonable prices.

According to all reports thla ijjMs
been a disastrous season for the dra-
matic companies -traveling ip Texas,
in the past Thiele Josh Spruceby,’
"East Lynne” or 'Ten Nights In a
Bar Room" would (ill most anjf town
hall to its capacity, but it seems these yy.-v-
old favorites no longer meet With •n-.,ig§|g|
thusiastic reception*. A close read- '
lug of our local exchanges reveal* the
reason. Home talent is putting the
business of the t raveling company “on
the fritz,” to lapse Into tbe vernacw- |
I nr of the road It's a mighty sorry J
town that can't boast of a “play writ- ,
er' and "stage talent" arid the papers
of the towns are zealously heralding
to the world the accomplishments of
the talent in their midst.
Oyer at Strawn an author whoso
most recent drama, "A Noble Heart,
brought fortli about a column -of en-
coniums from the Enterprise, which
paper also declared that the amateur
thespiana who took part iu giving A
Noble Heart" its premier, "played
their parts tike old time stage actors.
By the way. tbe lesson taught by the
barbed wire sharks who recently op-
erated in the vicinity of Strawn is
hearing fruit Strawn now prefers to
spend its money on home industry, in-
stead of patronizing the itinerant dra-
matic companies.
And down at Morgan Saturday night
home talent scored another victory.
The report says " ‘Uncle Reubln’a
■Promise," a play written by Dan R■
Hunter of our town was produced by
home talegt at the opera house last
night. The house was well filled, and
the fact that the play, whtcfc Within
Itself a good one, was written by a
man of our home town and clayed by
home talent made it all the more ap-
preciated "
Comanche, with a becoming spirit
of civic pride, also lays some claim
to distinction as the home of a lady
author who writes comedy Mr.Ho-
bart's speed in tilling a rush order
recently for a play for Lillian RuSSe 1 i,
was a slow drag compared to the
facility with which the Comanche
celebrity wrote a burletta for produc-
tion this coming Christmas night.
Her master piece, Twawever, was a
comedy which not long since was used
as a vehicle for some of Dublin 8 tal-
ent, and in which our own eminent
comedian W C. Buchingson came out
smeared all over with glory.
