               Petitioner prints calendars, napkins, greeting cards, and              
          forms according to the specifications of its customers.                     
          Petitioner orders the types of paper and supplies needed for                
          print jobs after receiving job orders.  Petitioner does not                 
          maintain a stock of paper or other materials because each job               
          requires paper of a different weight and finish.  Usually when a            
          job is completed, any materials left over are scraps and are not            
          used for other jobs.2                                                       
               On average, it takes 2 to 3 weeks from the time an order is            
          placed to complete the job and ship the order to the customer.              
          Petitioner holds title to (and bears the risk of loss of) the               
          supplies and printed goods until the final goods are shipped to             
          its customers.  After the goods are shipped, the client is billed           
          for the order.  Petitioner usually receives payment for an order            
          within 45 days of shipment.                                                 
               A large portion of petitioner's work is done for one                   
          customer, Suzy's Zoo Greeting Cards.  For the taxable year ending           
          May 31, 1991, Suzy's Zoo Greeting Cards accounted for                       
          approximately 70 percent of petitioner's accounts receivable at             
          the start of the taxable year and approximately 80 percent of the           
          accounts receivable at the end of the taxable year.                         



               2  Petitioner usually donates the scraps to a school or                
          makes scratch pads out of the them.
