Excerpt from Being a Souvenir of the Eleventh Annual Convention of the National Association of Stationers and Manufacturers: Held at the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, California, September 27-30, 1915

Never has paper borne a more sinf cere message than that on which this foreword is printed in welcome to the delegates to the Eleventh Annual Con' vention of Stationers and Manufacf turets in this month of September of the year nineteen hundred and fifteen. You are welcome as delegates; you are doubly welcome as friends. California, San Francisco, and the Jewel City of the Exposition are yours during your visit, which, could the subscribers have their way, would be no Visit, but rather the establishment of a permanent home. For this week, at least, let us believe that you are at home here, and as memf bers of one big, harmonious family, let us enjoy ourselves without constraint and without one thought of parting.
