is the best there is, why should I use it ? '
A fair question.
The answer is that the best there is is net tee
geed for your business or any business that re
spects itself, desires the respect of its customers,
realises that appearances go a long way, and
knows that letters are the only means of contact
the house has with many of its best customers.
Further, the paper, even the best paper, is a
very small part of the cost of a letter, tee small te
be considered against the probable effect of that
letter, in which effect the quality of the paper
plays an important part.
