THE 1919 CROAKER The Essentials of Good Printing It takes more than type, ink and paper to produce fine appearing magazines and books. Yet, these things are essential and we have them. In addition to these, however, it requires the skill which is born of close application and experience. For many years our administrative as well as our mechanical departments have devoted their thought and energy towards producing printing and binding of a superior class, with the result that today we arc in a position to supply the highest grade of product at reasonable prices. Our company makes its chief aim the satisfaction of its customers and performs whatever it promises. Your inquiries solicited. The Economy Advertising Company IOWA CITY, IOWA

THE 1919 CROAKER S HORTAGE SO AIEWH ER E An advertisement of a popular musical comedy which a few of our best students (Specs) attended, has this to say of one of the attractions: 60 PEOPLE 30 COSTUMES A FRESHMAN’S DILEMMA If a body meets a body At a mixer in the fall Should he really feel acquainted, Ever ask for dates at all ? I have called up every girl Whose name is on my card, They’ve scorned and ridiculed me, All have turned me down so hard. FROSH Seems to me it’s inconsistent When a feller meets a girl And she says “I’m glad to meet you”, Sets his head all in a whirl, Later meets him on the campus, Passes with an icy stare, Leaves him feeling quite embarrassed Standing with his cap in air. I’m already quite disgusted, College girls are mighty queer, I dop’t think they’re much improved By being educated here. Guess they favor upper-classmen, Sophs and Juniors all get by. Seniors have no difficulties, D----- it, fellows, why do I ?
