Price
Approximate price for 1,000 copies complete in all respects, about Seven thousand dollars, ($7,000.00).

The above price includes all photographing and engraving all furnished examples of pottery, all art work, designing, etc.,

We would explain that estimating on a book of this nature involves the consideration of more or less elastic costs and we would advise its production under an approximate estimate rather than an absolute contract price. For this reason we are submitting to you the above estimate based on costs as nearly as we can figure them at the present time without knowledge of the exact copy to be furnished or the exact size of the engraving to be made. We believe our estimate to be liberal and would hope to complete the work at an aggregate cost less, rather than more than the above named figure.

We wish to give you and the Committee every assurance that thework as planned can be most successfully carried out in every particular and we feel confident of producing a remarkably fine piece of work which will take its place among the best world products.

Hoping that you and the Committee will find it desirable to place this most interesting order with us, we are,

Very truly yours,
THE DE VINNE PRESS
