LONG, EUGENE E.
The material in this book has been so chosen and arranged as to make the book useful as a handbook for secretaries and business students or as a classroom text. Business students will find more than an adequate supply of examples, illustrations, and practice material to give them help or guidance on matters of letter forms, spacing, punctuation, and capitalization, as well as the use of number, abbreviations, and contractions in commercial letter writing.
The rules laid down in the units covering letter formation and mechanics are well defined and easy to understand and apply. They reflect modern trends and practices in layout, style, wording, punctuaction, and capitalization in business correspondence.
