Value l OT YOUT MONEY 1
When you make a relatively large investment, such as the purchase of a `
new Newspaper Press, it is well to remember that you will have to "live" 1
with your purchase for a long time, that any extra cost of operation it “ `
, entails or any economies it enables you- to effect will be repeated con- ,
tinuously for many years, and will, therefore, grow into a large sum, i
and that perhaps your ability to meet future emergencies depends largely i
on the wisdom of your present choice. l'
r
Unfortunately, prices of Newspaper Presses (which must be built for . ii
different sizes of printed page and in varying arrangements to fit individual
l
buildings and which are not in demand in sufficient volume to permit mass 1
production) have never been standardized. Also, so many variations in
character of detail design and construction and in intrinsic value are 1
practiced that purchasers unable to definitely appraise the merits and f`
relative values of the different offerings often concentrate on price. l
The importance of the price of a Newspaper Press is unquestionable, but ,
whether a price is high or low depends largely on what you get for your f
__; '_--- money in intrinsic value, in economy and efficiency of operation, in quality,
. · . . . . 1
speed and capacity of performance, in reliability and freedom from ;
expensive or annoying interruptions, in economy or ease of maintenance, J
in reduced depreciation and in the extent to which calculated foresight
has been exercised to produce a machine that will acceptably and econom- 1
ically meet future requirements. -
\Valter Scott & Co. invites the most searching investigation and comparison
with competitive machinery, confident from actual performance that when 1
true values are established Scott Presses will be found the fastest, the
. . • . K
most productive, the most eflicient and the most reliable presses in the iii
