What do you do
with old letters ?
Stow them away In boxes, hoping you'll
never have to refer to them ? Or keep them
In your current file to clutter It up?
Old letters and memos, if worth keeping
at all, ought to be just as available as re
ceipted bills.
Library Bureau transfer equipment (steel)
provides the most practical way of housing
them. It carries out the L. B. idea of service
, because the contents are always accessible.
L. B. Transfer cases -are one-drawer units
constructed of heavy steel. They stack
easily one on top of another, and side by side
as many as you need. They operate on
the same principle as the regular L. B. file
which means that you can find what you
want when you want it.
This is transfer time get your old letters
' and memos out of the way. Put your files on
an up-to-the-minute basis. We can help you in
this we'll be glad to explain filing and trans
ferring, and L. B. is headquarters for trans
fer supplies folders, guides, everything.
