of hundreds of signs, specifying

reasonable parking regulations; fewer
confusing bans on driving practices
that are generally &peeved; a broader
tendency, to warn instead of arrest
the traveller and a general leniency
where violation of the seulation palp-
ably was caused by ignorance.
• "Probably the in,ost welcome Im-

the futility and injustice of this regti-

' Good Letters
To write a good, appealing -business
letter --pleasing, winsome and eon-
vinein,g—is an art or accomplishment
-but few of us have attained, and yet
how important it IS that the letter
going from your office to another at
a distant point should convey the
right impression and produce the re-
sult. If it i$ true that every letter
written represents an average cost of „
20c, it is important that your letter ik
sh.auld be good. There is competition
in letter- welting. Not any common ' ge '
cesnmunication will meet the situa-
tion at all tildes; and, yetthie import-
ant pelt of advertisir,g ,and sales' is ' e
woefully neglected or Misused. Use-
less phraseology, hackn-eyed terms
and superfluous verbiage seerii to run
riot in business correepon•dence. We
think it is largely due to the, fact
that the letter writes; fails• to put
lihnself in the position,of the one he
is addressing. Smart OT cunning
phrases are out of place in geed let -
tee wrlting. Strong, masterful argu-
ment and presentation are qualities
• very much to be cesired.
