Correspondents will confer a great I
favor on us il they will use mere
paper. Don't cramp your writing.
Leave plenty of space between lines.
Each line should occupy at least half

supply an abundance. 1t is also best
to write on only one side of the paper
as compositors often forget to examine
both sides. But by all means give
yourselves plenty OF room.
