THE PARISIAN CABMAN, PAID ADVERTISEMENT. BUSINESS LETTERS, Writs to a Man Just as You W raid Talk to Him at Your Desk. Business letter writing Is no longer merely ’x-orresiiondence,” but "litera ture,' and the correspondent who for merly wasted his precious breath ou each Inanities us "Yours received and contents duly noted” ls now relegated to the “old school” class, and unless he Is willing to adopt the new rules of letter writing he is likely to change not only his position, but tind It neces sary to change his vocation as well. The up to date business man does not waste time indulging in the pro llminaries of "I l*g to acknowledge receipt” or "In reply would say.” but goes straight to the subject nt issue firmly, without frills, even eliminat ing the time worn advice. “Awaiting your early reply," and closing without the absurdity of "Begging to remain.’ "Write to n man exactly as you would talk to him If he were sitting at your desk," Is the maxim of one of the best authorities on letter writing In Chicago. By eliminating useless phrases having no bearing on the sub ject the business man not only saves his own time In dictating, but that of I his stenographer In transcribing the notes. By the old method of letter I wilting the opening and closing of letters contained almost five lines of useless "form" matter which would average on 100 letters Just 500 lines of superfluous effort.—Chicago Tribune.

PEOPLE are not leaving so much to chance in these days of universal telephone service. Instead of risking disappointment they telephone and get the facts. Will school be held on a stormy morning, will your friend be in if you call, what does the weather man predict and when does the train leave—are samples of myriads of questions constantly passing over the wire, and being answered by the proper authorities. There are also questions to be asked about the telephone service, how somebody can be reached over the Bell Long Distance Telephone and what it will coat, and similar questions, which are being answered by the information operators.
