CLOSING A BUSINESS LETTER IN
EASY STYLE.

Some business men close their let
ters with set phrases, which appear on
all letters alike. Their customers see
them again and again, and know they
mean nothing at ALL that they are a
bad habit. Such meaningless phrases
are:
Trusting this will be entirely salts
factory, we remain"
Soliciting your valued order, we
are"
Trusting We may have your kind
order by return mail, we remain"
These phrases would not be bad if
they meant anything, but when they
/. are only a bad habit they become
worse than useless.
Don't insist on always closing your
letters with I'VE are" or I'VE remain"
When you have finished what you
have to say simply write Yours
truly" or whatever formal close may
be required.
At the same time it would be a
great mistake to be abrupt and neg
lect the easy formalities of personal
intercourse.
Say anything that is natural, courte-
GUS and significant, finding a different
phrase as often as you can and over
working no particular form.
IF there is anything more we can
do for you, we sincerely hope you will
command us. Yours truly"
I'VE shall give your order our usual
careful attention, and trust we shall
be fortunate enough to please you in
every way"
I'VE thank you cordially for remem-
bering us in this case"
Greatly regretting our inability to
meet your desires, nevertheless we re-
main, most cordially yours
In closing soliciting or sales letter,
it is important always to tell the pros
pective customer exactly what you
want him or her to do. This should be
something simple, natural and easy.
If you want reply, say so just as you
would ask favor in personal inter-
course.
kindly use the enclosed return post
card to let us know at once exactly
how you are situated"
Fill out the enclosed order blank,
mail in the enclosed return envelope,
and goods will be shipped the day
your order reaches u.s.
Leaving the customer to infer
what you want done is fatal to much
business, as the average man is more
guided by his instincts than by his
processes of reasoning, and many will
not make the effort to think.

HOW TO WRITEA HUNDRED GOOD
LETTERS A DAY.

IF ! could take time to polish my
letters up, be sure l had obeyed every
rule of grammar, and found precisely
the most natural and effective express
sion, l could write fine letters; but
have to dictate hundred letters day
and it keeps me hustling to get them
out. l can't stop for all these fine
points"
Such is the argument used by the
business men whose letters are often
carelessly written and awkwardly
worded.
4 Nothing is so injurious to good let
ter writing as the sense of hurry; but
the secret of success in getting out a
hundred good letters day lies in
taking time to write one letter we'll
If you will devote an hour or two
hours to making one letter as strong,
graceful, clear, and convincing as you
are capable of doing, you will get a
general sense of how best to construct
your letters when you are debating
rapidly. Too many business men never

CREATING DESIRE.

The average business man ia SO
wrapped up in his own production, the
thing he has to sell, that he forgets all
about the customer He sees in the
most vivid way possible the great utili-
ty of his goods, and he assumes the
customer must have the same natural
intense desire. He has worked himself
into a chronic state of seeing through
the colored glasses of his own prepos-
session, and he can't get away from
that prepossession.
But if he is going to make sales he
must throw himself in imagination into
the position of the possible customer,

who merely has a faint inclination to-
ward something which the article
offered for sale will supply to certain
degree. He can live without it. Even
If |. is a life-and-death matter he prob
ably doesn't know it. In any case, it
is probably one of many things he
might like to have, though he can't
possibly have ALL Be modest. Don't
expect him to have any more desire
for your article than for all the others
he cannot possibly get.
Modestly putting aside the notion
that all the world is waiting breathless
for your goods, gently take the Gus
toner or reader of your letter on his
own ground and tell him why he needs
something to supply the void that ex-
lists. Suppose he is wearing threedol-
lar shoes; point out that one pair of
five-dollar shoes will wear as long as
two pairs of the cheaper shoes, so pay
ing more to start with means really
less in the end, and besides there ia
the unspeakable comfort of real fit,
so that walking is a pleasure rather
than torture. When you've got man
to think so far with you, quite without
mentioning any shoes you have to
offer, you have won half your battle
from the point of view of playing upon
human nature.
You want to sell man $25 gold
watch. Some letter writers would
plunge at once into the comparative
merits of their gold watches and 9th
ers but what good will all those COM
parative merits do If the customer
feels that his $40 silver watch is just
as good for him as any gold watch
you've got. You've got to lead his
mind to thinking of the real benefits of
a gold watch before your comparative
arguments can have any effect what
ever, will be anything but thrown
away. A silver watch looks cheap.
Nobody will think man is anything
in the world until he can at least pull
out of his vest pocket a gold watch.
Besides, doesn't it really cost a lot of
time and disappointment not to have
an accurate time-keeper? How much
waste energy would it take to equal
the interest on only SIS difference
say rs cents a year. Probably the
waste energy might run to the equiva-
lent of 100 per cent. or more. Is it not
like throwing money away not to buy
$25 gold watch?
The Colorado statesman., 1909-05-01
WHEN TO WRITE A SHORT LET
TER, AND WHEN TO WRITE
A LONG ONE.

It is a curious thing to notice how
many correspondents fall into the
habit of writing letters all Of about
the same length. Some appear to like
letter of only few lines, and will
seldom exceed page double-spaced;
others will almost habitually write let
tiers exceeding page single-spaced on
the typewriter.
The first step toward system in cor
respondence is to learn to write diff
ferent letter to different people on
different occasions-a long letter when
long letter is required to do the
business, short letter when only a
short letter will be read
Write a Long Letter to
A farmer.
A woman.
A customer who has asked you a
question.
A customer who is angry and needs
quieting down.
A man who is interested, but must
be convinced by a complete argument.
Write Short Letter to
A busy business man, who won't
read long one.
An Indifferent man, on whom you
want to make a sharp impression.
A man who wants only bit of in
formation for reference.
A person who needs only slight
reminder of something he has for
gotten.
1t is useless to write a long letter
unless you know it will be read. Brew
ity is the watchword of the business
world. Every letter should be brief
unless there is a good reason for max
ing it long.
But it is better not to write a let
ter at all unless you are going to make
1t do its work. If man wants long
and full explanation it is only business
courtesy and good policy to give it to
him. The man who is in doubt must
be convinced. The man who is angry
must be soothed. The man who is
asking for information must be salts
fed.
Farmers and women usually have
plenty of time to read the letters they
receive, and like to read long letters
all through. They are accustomed to
full explanations. 1t is useless, how
ever to say thing over and over, just
because you want to make the letter
long. Such letter would weary even
a woman or farmer, and spoil sale.
What is wanted is not words, but full
detail.
The best rule is to form the habit
of saying what you know is required,
whether it makes a short letter or

WHAT PoLlTENEss REQUIRES IN
A LETTER.

However brief letter, it should
never be lacking in a dignified cour-
tesy.
Some business men are so afraid of
writing a long letter that they chop
out every word or phrase that can
possibly be spared without completely
spelling the meaning, very much as
they would do if writing a telegram.
Too often they make their letters so
short that the essential things they
have to say are not made clear. If a
man is going to give his time to read
ing a letter at all, he wants to know
precisely what the writer wishes to
say. He doesn't want to guess or as
sumo He wants to know
A chopped-out letter is usually
robbed of all forms of courtesy. A
business man who would not think of
coming into the office of a customer
without taking off his hat, saying
Good morning" and shaking hands
affably, will write letter that re-
minds one of those boys who go about
calling out: Want any blotters?"
The very tone repels.
seem complete, as if the writer were
taking all the time necessary to at
tend to his business with you. The
usual forms of courtesy should not
appear cramped, and the letter equiv
alent of the handshake, the bow, and
the removal of the hat should be as
scrupulously adhered to in writing as
in personal intercourse.
These are the things that make the
other man feel friendly, and in every
letter good business, to say nothing of
politeness, requires that the customer
be made to feel that you are treating
him right. Courtesy in letters as in
personal intercourse Is cheap, and it
pays.
The conventional. Dear Sir" or
Dear Madam" at the opening of let
ter means nothing, but if it were left
out it would be missed, and its abb

ages to put a world of meaning into
these seemingly empty forms.
But the letter writer must not rea-
son that because these forms are
good, lot more phrases such as the
Spaniards use in closing their let
ters would be still better. They are
not wanted in American business let
ter writing. The person who overdoes
courtesy is put down as a hypocrite
and a bore. Do what custom re-
quires, and then stop. Study the Gus
toner, and give him what he expects
and wants. That is the great law in
all business.

By Sherwin Cody

take time even to write one really
good letter, so they never know what
a good letter in their business would
be.
But there is a regular system by
which even hundred letters can be
dictated in a day and nearly every
one of them can be made a master
piece.
Nearly all correspondence falls ma
turally into very few classes. Gus
toners ask the same questions about
a given article over and over, the same
arguments influence them, and sub
stantially the same things have to be
said again and again. Sometimes the
dictator states those things well, and
again he is very awkward in his state
ment. This is true even of the great.
est experts.
But when Demosthenes had found
the best possible way of saying thing
las we see from his collection of per.
orations and form paragraphs, which
we find introduced into many differ.
ent speeches), he wrote that best way
down in his book and used the same
language over and over.
This method is peculiarly useful in
handling business correspondence
Have a book of form paragraphs GOV,
ering every important subject that is
referred to many times, and when you
have found two or three best ways OF
saying a thing use one of those way
out of the book instead of debating off
hand whatever comes into the mind
By this method it is possible to die
tate a hundred good letters in a day
and make every one of them master
piece.
The Colorado statesman., 1909-05-01

A physician was summoned to a
very sick man, who was very much
preoccupied with troubles of his own.
On arriving at the sick mans bed, he
said to his wife: your husband is in
the last throes. Every movement
shows that the end is nearing" At
this moment the sick mans head fell
over the pillow, when the doctor said:
1.-THE end has come, your husband is
dead"
In shrill, thin voice the sick man
said:
"'Tain't so, Maria"
At once the wife laid her hand on
his head and remarked: Don't dis
turb yourself, Rufus-the doctor
knows best."-Harper's

BEGIN YOUR LETTERS IN A MA
TURAL AND EASY WAY.

Many people think letter isn't
q letter unless it is begun in the stereo-
typed style that has been in use for a
hundred years, such as:
Replying to your esteemed favor of
the 10th inst, we beg to advise;"
Answering your honored communi-
cation of the Gath ult., we would say"
Your valued favor of the 21st inst.
at hand. In reply we beg to say"
You wouldn't talk like that Don't
write like that.
Plunge at once into what you have
to say. Acknowledging the date of
the letter to be answered is only an
incidental matter, and you should do it
incidentally, by some phrase subordin-
ate to the sentence in which you say
the important thing your letter is writ
ten for.
For example, acknowledge an order
in this way:
I'VE thank you sincerely for your
order of the 18th inst. for two barrels
of lime, which we will deliver the first
thing tomorrow morning." or
I'VE regret to say that we are just
out of lime and so cannot deliver with
our usual promptness the two bar
rels you order in your favor of the
18th inst
If favor is asked which must be
refused, begin as follows:
I'VE fully appreciate all you say in
your letter of the 18th, butt"
1T would give me unusual pleasure
to grant your request of the 18th if it
were in my power to do so, but unfor-
tunately."
If information is asked, begin at
once to give the information:
Such lawn-mower as you describe
in your letter of the 9th we are offer
ing for only $3.50, and you will find
it described on page 16."
I'VE take pleasure in quoting you
on the articles mentioned in yours of
the 18th as follows"
