E have a man in our office who has 

 a very interesting job. 



He receives letters from all over the 

 world — and replies to every one of them, 

 not with a mere printed form; but with 

 a personal letter carefully thought out. 



Some days he travels pretty much all 

 over New York City looking for the right 

 answer to a single letter. 



This man conducts our Readers' Service 

 Department. 



If you come across anything in any of 

 our magazines, or anywhere else for that 

 matter, about which you want more infor- 

 mation just write him a letter. 



He'll answer it — that's his job.
