Let Uncle Sam Carry Your Story


Letters, properly used, may be your best salesmen. They get in and tell your story though the private door is closed to all else.


Having the inside track it is your place to make the most of it. Your letter should tell its story clearly and convincingly, have if possible something of the personal element and not offend by the "cheap" ap- pearance due to poor quality paper, careless punctuation or spelling, too apparent "form", bad filling in etc.


Thousands of well prepared letters are a total loss because of a faulty mailing list which sends them to wrong addresses or defunct firms. A revised mailing list every few months is a profitable investment.


The List and Letter Service Dept. of the Sampson & Murdock Co. has all the facilities for compiling Up-to-the-Minute Mailing Lists, compiling and typing letters which have not the slightest appearance of a "form" letter and for printing, addressing and mailing them in any quantity in the shortest possible space of time. For full inform- ation address;
