DO YOU GENERALIZE IN YOUR MAIL? 



Thousands of dollars are wasted every month in promiscuous mail matter sent at 

 random to lumber buyers in the hope that somebody may find something he wants. 



Write a Specific Letter to Actual Users 

 of Each Item and See the Difference 



If you know exactly what quantity, kind, grade and dimension of hardwoods each factory uses and know the name of each 

 buyer you can write a personal letter quoting only on those stocks each buyer really uses — and your total number of 

 letters would not be any greater. 

 Such intelligent mail work is possible — you can secure the necessary information cheaply and quickly. Write us about it.
