WHY A MINIMUM CHARGE FOR PRESS CLIPPING SERVICE

Because Burrelle's Press Clipping Bureau employs a large staff of expert readers, and maintains expensive prepaid subscription accounts with all publishers, it is necessary that we charge a minimum of Six Dollars ($6.00) per month for our reading service. Thousands of different publications are read from the first page to the last for clippings on your order. Each newspaper or magazine receives the same careful attention whether we find one clipping or one hundred clippings on your subject or subjects. It is possible that we may read a large number of publications for you before we find a single item.

Where thousands of different publications are being read for clippings on your order it is possible that certain items may be sent in error. We are always very willing to correct any mistakes which may be made. In general, however, the acceptance of clippings binds the customer to pay for them. We should be informed at once if we are sending clippings which are not wanted in order that we may immediately advise our readers.

Our Correspondent Bureaus are located throughout the U. S., Canada and all foreign countries. Burrelle's Local—National—or International Service is complete and accurate. Good press clippings are worth saving. For this purpose, we suggest the use of a Burrelle Loose-Leaf Scrap Book — handsomely bound in deep maroon leatherette—with your name in gold on the front cover.

We read the local newspapers the day they are printed—out of town papers are read as soon as they are received from the publishers. If you are forwarding press releases to the newspapers, please put our name on your mailing list for 15 copies (or as many copies as you can send us) of each story that you send out. This publicity is placed before our readers and is helpful in locating your press notices.

Dear Dr. Borth:

We have run into another difficulty over payment to a contributor; and since the identical problem has occurred several times in the past, requiring in each instance a series of identical negotiations, I am hoping that we can reach a satisfactory disposition of this case, and that it can form a precedent for handling similar cases in the future.

The problem is this: We propose to publish

The problem hinges on the technical consideration of whether payment formally for an article which has been accepted by our office, and which has been set up in type, *inhalation* but which has not yet been actually published, or services constitutes payment in advance of receipt of goods. So far as we can see, such payment does not *inhalation* constitute an *advance* payment in the language of the university regulations, since to allintents and purposes we have, on the formal acceptance of an article, *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* since *inhalation* committed ourselves to its purchase; and *inhalation* that it is actually in our hands and subject to our disposition, *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation*--the manuscript, considered as either goods or services--has obviously been delivered.

It is true that we have our own policy which prescribes that payment *only* to contributors should normally be made on publication. *Inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* But this, so far as we are concerned, is administered primarily for our convenience: it's a simpler matter to issue a requisition for payments to twelve contributors than to issue twelve single requests for purchase. *Inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* *inhalation* that an accurate computation of the amount due certain contributors cannot be made until the issue is on the press, the article might have been accepted late, certain editorial changes might have been called for the effect of which,

so far as the spread of the article on the page is concerned, cannot be
determined until the last moment. And so as a rule we pay on publication.

But then these special cases come up, such as the one up for consideration
at the moment: We have known for more than a year that Miss Katherine Anne
Porter was working on a novelette, and we urged her to keep up in mind what
it means up was ready to go to the market. Miss Porter is one of the few writers
of the time who can deliberately choose her publisher. And it is only
because she has a personal interest in the Review that we are able to secure
any of her work for publication. At the end of August Miss Porter's story,
The Leaning Tower, came into our hands, and was hastily accepted. It has
since been set up in type, and is ready to go to press. Now Miss Porter writes
that she is building a house, and needs her check. And it seems to us that
it would be bad business, if nothing else, to prejudice our future relationships
with this distinguished contributor to refuse her payment at this time. So far
as we can see, such payment would involve no breach of university regulations;
and so far as our own policy is concerned, it is decidedly to our advantage
to make such an exception, in this case, and in any similar case in the future:
for, in order to keep our top-flight contributors in line and well disposed,
we have to have some leeway for the exercise of tact and diplomacy.

Attention: Mr. J. E. Palmer

Gentlemen:

I understand that sometime in September there will be an opening on your staff for a secretary. I would like very much to be considered for that place.

Commercial subjects were my major during two years at the Louisiana State Normal College. At the Louisiana State University my major subject was English.

Since last September I have been employed at the L.S.U. News Bureau, where my duties consist of handling correspondence, writing feature stories and news items, typing, filing, cutting stencils, and other clerical work. My personal relations here have been quite pleasant, but frankly I would prefer to be associated with the work of The Southern Review.

A record of my training and experience is on file in the office of the Dean of the University, and I shall be glad to supplement these facts with any additional information you may wish.

During the next two weeks I shall be on vacation, but I may be reached through local telephone number 3-3863.

Mr. Cleanth Brooks, Jr.
The Southern Review

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Dear Mr. Brooks:

I received your letter this morning, and I am extremely happy at the prospect of working for the Southern Review. I know of no other job which would interest me as much or which I would be more eager to accept. I should be able to leave immediately on receipt of a letter from you, and could be in Baton Rouge at your convenience. I should of course prefer to be there before your present secretary leaves so that I might learn something about my duties from her.

I received my A. B. degree with honors in English from Drury College, Springfield, Missouri, in June, 1940, and my M. A. in English from the State University of Iowa in August, 1941.

I am an expert typist. I took two years of typing in high school and have kept in constant practice since then. I do not know shorthand, but I should be glad to study it in my spare time to make up the deficiency.

During my undergraduate years at Drury College I worked as a student assistant in the college library, under Prof. William A. Daggett, and have had experience in almost everything connected with a library, including cataloging, filing, keeping records, preparing and mending books, and handling circulation. I also worked on the college newspaper for four years where, besides writing news stories and book reviews and helping with circulation, I learned to read proof. While at the University of Iowa I worked as secretary for Prof. Luella M. Wright in the Department of English. My duties included keeping office records and files, and typing business and personal correspondence, examinations, lectures, and manuscripts for publication, including a book length manuscript. This summer I helped Prof. Hardin Craig, who was visiting the campus, by typing some vouchers and receipts for Stanford Studies in Language and Literature.

I believe that the people who know most about me, my work, and my qualifications for this job, are Prof. Austin Warren and Dr. Rene Wellek, under whose sponsorship I wrote my thesis, "A Critical Study of the Poetry of Henry King," Prof. John C. McGalliard, and Prof. Luella M. Wright, all of the State University of Iowa. I could furnish other references, from my undergraduate school and college library, on request.

I do not know how much Mr. Warren has told you about me. If I have omitted any important information, please let me know, and I will furnish it at once. I am spending the summer with my parents at Sikeston, Missouri, where my father, John T. Stewart, has his office as Area Director of the Farm Security Administration.

Charles Scribner's Sons
597 Fifth Avenue
New York City

Gentlemen:

The Winter number of the Southern Review, to be published December 20, will be a special issue devoted entirely to the work of William Butler Yeats. I'm writing to see if I can interest you in reserving advertising space in it.

You will perhaps remember the wide and favorable publicity which we received for our last special number, the Summer, 1940, Thomas Hardy Centennial issue. For the Yeats number we're following the same procedure: engaging for the project the services of the best critics to be had in America and England, and letting each of them handle the aspect of Yeats' work he finds most interesting. Contributors will include T.S. Eliot, I.A. Richards, L. C. Knight, Allen Tate, M. D. Zabel, John Crowe Ransom, Arthur Mizener, etc. It's going to be at least as good in its way as the Hardy issue; and I think with the success of that issue behind it, the Yeats is going to get along even better.

I'm not trying to delude you with promise of a vast sale. We've sold a little over 3000 copies of the Hardy issue, and when we get to 3200 that will be all, because the second printing will be exhausted and I don't think it'll be economical to reprint again. For the Yeats issue we're having a first printing of 3000, and will hold type for a 2000 reprint. Not much for the commercial press; but for our kind of magazine, we prefer to think, it's not bad.

Our rates are $30.00 a page straight, $24.00 on a year's contract. Deadline for copy will be Nov. 20. If you do take a page, I'd suggest advertising titles of a solid and fairly long-lasting nature, because this issue will, I can promise you, be used like a book, and won't get out of date for a good long time to come.
