The Western Union aDay Letter.

The Day Letter is the latest Western
Union innovation TO popularize and ex-
tend the facilities OF the telegraph SER
vice. That Company announces today
the Inauguration of the fifty word
Day Letter as the day companion to
the fifty word Night Letter, which is
now so much used for all kinds Of cor
respondence.
It is just a year since the Western
Union launched the Night Letter and
the popularity and success of that SER
vice in providing the means for an ex-
tended use Of the telegraph by the
public has prompted the Company to
give to the public similar advantages
in the day service.
The Day Letter is to be written in
plain English; code language or code
words not accepted. Day Letters are to
be transmitted as the facilities of the
Company will permit during business
hours Of the day, full rate kilograms
having priority Of transmission.
As the wires of the Company are in
much demand during the midday
hours, it is advisable that Day Letters
should be filed as early I'm the day as
possible. This is desirable so that the
Company may despatch and deliver
Day Letters within the business hours
of the day on which they are fled
Day Letters will be accepted at all
offices of the Western Union AT any
hour during the day. or they may be
sent in by telephone
The rate charged for a Day Letter OF
fifty words or less is one and one-hall
times the fifty word Night Letter rate
and for each additional ten words OF
less one-fifth the initial charge. FoI
! example, the Night Letter rate betweer
New York and Chicago is 80 cents. tn,
! Day Letter rate will be one aud one
half times that, or 75 cents. with l5
cents for each additional ten words
The New lork-San Francisco Might
Letter rate is S100; the Day Letter
rate $3.50.
The Day Letter and the Night Letter
give the United States the cheapest
telegraph service IN the world.
