Printed in black text, lower center: Tinker To Evers To Chance / These are the saddest of possible words: / “Tinker to Evers to Chance.” / Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds, / Tinker to Evers to Chance. / Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon Bubble, / Making a Giant hit into a double -- / Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble: / “Tinker to Evers to Chance.” / Franklin P. Adams; in green text, lower center: The double play combination of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers and Frank / Chance helped the Chicago Cubs launch a reign of terror in the National / League that lasted from 1906–1910. / While our field is considerably removed from the ballpark, we do / offer some teamwork that can help you launch many a successful printing / project. The combination of National Bickford Graphics and Foremost / Lithograph provides a fully integrated operation all the way from / separations to printing. No one else in New England has anything near our / capability. In addition, this combination brings together some of the most / expert and experienced people in the industry today. And because they can / now compliment [sic] one another and keep track of a job from start to finish, / it’s your assurance of the very highest standards of quality control. / Naturally, you can still come to us specifically for separations or / printing but we think you’ll be particularly happy with what we can do / with the whole ballgame.; in green and black, bottom center: National Bickford Foremost; center lower margin: HUNTINGTON INDUSTRIAL PARK, PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND 02907 / 401-944-2700 HUNTINGTON INDUSTRIAL PARK, PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND 02907 / 401-944-8400
