A printer (states "Printing" was recently asked by a doctor to submit prices for letter headings in different sizes, different quall- ties of paper, different colours of ink, and a number of other "dif- ferences." Also the type would have to be kept standing for pos- sible future orders, The printer's reply was as follows:-

If appendix is found sound, want quotations to include putting sanie back in place and cancelling order. If removed, successful bidder expected" to hold inciston open for about sixty days, as I expect to be in the mar- ket for an operation for gallstones at that time and want to save the extra cost of cutting."
