"It is a -fast, easy, frictionless system of handling dictation which enables each operator to produce from 50 to 100 per cent more letters per day at one-third less cost per letter than any other system. Better letters, too. "This radical increase in production and economy is the chief reason why our daily mail keeps up to schedule in spite of our war-drained correspondence departments." Will The Dictaphone do all this in your office on your work t A demonstration is the best answer. Phone or write today, asking for a list of users in your line of business, also for free booklet, "The Man at the Desk." To Secretaries and Stenographers dictaphone Operators often say that they wouldn't want to work in offices where The Dictaphone was not in use. It is natural that they should feel that way. The Dictaphone System is a smooth running, calm-nerved method of handling dictation. The demand for operators is great, and they are exceptionally well paid. The sooner The Dictaphone goes into your office, the better for you.
