And your finding it Yeadily, if at all, depends upon your method of transferring. ACTIVE FILMS TRANSFER CA9ES Transferring Correspondence The usefulness of correspondence lessens with Its age. You can't tell when it is absolutely useless, but you know that reference to it decreases gradually as it becomes older. Obviously the best transferring system i3 that which retires the correspondence gradually. For example, suppose your Upright Steel Filing Cabinets will contain just one year's Correspondence; file the second year's cor respondence in a duplicate set or battery of cabinets, placed back to back with, and labeled the same as the first; the third year transfer the first year's letters from the Up right Cabinets to Globe-Wernicke Steel Trans fer Cases, stacked up in same formation as the cabinets, as shown above. Then, the Upright Cabinets or Active Files you have emptied are ready for the current year's correspondence. Thereafter each year you" transfer the year-old cor respondence from cabinets to transfer eases and main tain in your cabinets letters covering the current year and the year previous. In transferring, all the letters from each Cabinet fil are put in one transfer case, maintaining the same alphabetical arrangement. Our book, "Filing and Finding Papers'! explains this system in detail. Ask for it it's free. Qdl mam Office Outfitters. 3fd& Alder Sts.
