The document sion of the government printing office, which, under the superintendent of documents, has charge of the distribution and sale of nearly all government publications, except those allotted to members of congress, last year made sales amounting to an increase of $17,017.70 over the preceding year, and $104,551 more than- - for the fiscal year 1021, ac- cording to George II. Carter, United States public printer. In the fiscal year 1925 the document division sojd 7.770.7S2 copies tif various government publications, an increase of 520,041 over the sales for 1024. Most of these publications were ordered by letters, of which 375,571 were received during the year. A large number also were sold over the counter of the government bookstore on the ground floor of the Document building. The increasing sale of government publications is especially noteworthy, says Mr. Carter, In view of the fact that the office has no funds for advertising its products and lias to compete with free distribution by members of congress and other officers of the gov$187,-922.6- 3, ernment.

Would Help Pay for Printing. Increased sales would, of course, help compensate the government for the cost of printing, the report conhut a material growth in tinues, sales, uniess accompanied by a reduction of the free copies, would necessitate an additional force and a larger building for the doeument division, which is already seriously crowded. Therefore, any plan for the increased sale and distribution of government publications should, of necessity, take into consideration additional facilities and larger quarters for the document division. During the fiscal year 1925 the document division distributed 54,084,-45- 8 About copies of publications. 7, 000, 0(H) of these copies were purchased by the public.
