Changes in mailing lists will be
more rapid than ever. Even before
U. S. entry into war, changes in lists
during 1941 were larger than in 1910.
In one industrial field there was 278o
increase in changes. In one industrial
list, 79e were in military service and
209o moved to another field. Check
lists carefully and often. Don't waste
postage and paper on poor lists. (The
