ROCK ISLAND ECONOMY
Topeka Offices Ordered to Reduce
Expenses by Using Smaller Paper.

The Topeka general offices of the Rock
Island Lines received orders today to use
smaller size paper in the company's office
correspondence. With the order came a
big shipment of typewriter size blank
sheets fully 21a inches shorter than the
letterhead size that has been used for
years.
1t is figured that the road will cut down
it's paper bill from one-third to one-fourth
by adopting the new size for office work
1t is argued that a large percentage OF
the letters written from the offices contain
only a few hnes-the rest is blank waste
space. By cutting the sheets to two-th1rds
the original length, one-third the paper
bill can be saved.
The Rock Island Lines originated the
now famous -a-Nickel-a-Day cam
paign that has been general with the
roads over the country. Pencils have been
saved by the use of holders, and several
other stationery orders have been reduced
in expense by simple economies
