Show AN EVIDENCE OP THRIFT Men of today are jotdged almost aB much by their appearances as they are by their acts, and in no case is this fact more self evident than in the matter of correspondence. Years ago brawn was the chief asset as-set of the farmer. Today it is brains. Then the farmer could write a letter on any old kind of paper and it would pass muster. Now he must have his printed stationery if he would take ' his proper place among the successful success-ful and brainy men of the day. A few years ago a printed letter head for the farmer was a thing for the museum. Today it is a common necessity and is found in every section sec-tion of this broad land. It is an evidence of the advanced brain power of the American farmer of tomorrow, and of the future. Neatly printed stationery instantly , commands the attention and respect 1 of everybody, for it bespeaks progress pro-gress on the part of the one who uses it. But it serves yet another and equally important purpose. It prevents pre-vents numerous errors in the misdirection mis-direction of letters, in the faulty spelling of names, in the confusion of an employee with the head of the farm. For the average general farmer the accepted form of letter heads is as follows: JAMES T. ALEXANDER Agriculturist P. O. Box 1234 Mount Pleasant, Utah ; This should be printed in plain' black type at the top of the page, and when letter paper of this kind ib used there is no possibility of tin-misdirection tin-misdirection of mail. The same could be printed in the upper left hand corner of the envelope, thus insuring insur-ing the return of a letter in case of non-delivery. The same kind of stationery is used by men in the great cities for private correspondence not related to their business affairs. Since the farmers of this community commun-ity are up to date in other respects, they should not be behind their , brothers elsewhere in the matter of their stationery. Every farmer should have his own printed stationery, for it will operate as an evidence to others at a distance of the thrift and farsightedness wlvch we of this community know that our own farmers possess. The Pyramid will print such letterheads letter-heads and envelopes to match at a very reasonable price. Many of our customers say that they would not be without printed stationery for double the cost. |
