The first fight took plnep nt Twenty -

Fully a hundred persons were nttrnrted

He came he saw lie
conquered his filing troubles
He had come into our salesrooms merely to buy folders.
He also asked about the L. B. Automatic index, which he
said he had seen advertised. Wondered if we would toll
him more about it?
"Certainly," said we. "That's our business." And
then we explained why this filing system is the quickest
and most accurate there is.
"It's a great system," said our visitor, as he filed and
ttr-filed a few letters himself. "But I'm afraid I can't
afford it You see, my firm is trying to economize."
Trying to economize? "Why, bless your heart, that's just
toe reason why you should install the L. B. Automatic
jndex.
Suppose it saves you or your file clerk only twenty min
utes a day? Or that, through the correct filing or unfiling
of only ono letter, it saves you only one order a year?
Right there the E. B. Automatic index will pay back
far more than its purchase price and "earn its keep"
through the years.
