Sears & Co., and has been with me for the last three years. He has written for us some of the best drawing copy that we ever used, and his work has been satisfactory in every way. He is original and modern in his advertising ideas, and knows how to express them forcefully but without exaggeration. His English is perfect. I shall greatly regret losing Mr. Walker, but I cannot advance him above his present position, and I agree with him that he is equal to a bigger position than he has here. I hope you can give him the opportunity that he seeks. If you will see him personally, you will oblige both him and me. Your influence and kindly interest have secured for me the position with Tully & Clark. I want to thank you for the excellent recommendation which you gave me and to assure you that I shall give my best attention to my new work. Very truly yours, John Dillon.

LETTERS OF INQUIRY Requests for information Bradford Mills, Pa., Dr. Louis Elliott, 29 Walnut Street, My dear Dr. Elliott: I am writing a paper on Vitamines to be read before the Mothers' Club, an organization of Bradford Mills mothers. I have drawn most of my material from your article in the Medical Magazine, acknowledging, of course, the source of my information. There are several points, however, on which I am not clear. As it is of great importance that this subject be presented to the mothers correctly, I am addressing you personally to get the facts. 1. Am I to understand that no other foods than those you mention contain these vitamines? 2. Are all the classes of vitamines necessary to life and will a child fed on foods containing all the known vitamines be better conditioned than one fed on only one kind? I shall greatly appreciate your answering my questions. The members of the club have shown surprising interest in this matter of food. Yours sincerely, Mabel Manners. 128 East Forty-Sixth Street, New York, N. Y., The Prentiss Candy Co., June 15, 1922. Long Island City, N. Y. Gentlemen: The Better Food Magazine, to which I am a contributor, has asked me to make an investigation of the manufacture of the most widely advertised foods, with a view to writing an article on foods for the magazine. I should like if possible to talk with someone and to make a short visit to the factory. If you can arrange an appointment for me during the next week, will you let me know? I shall greatly appreciate it. Very truly yours, Answers to letters of inquiry THE PRENTISS CANDY CO. LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y. June 17, 1922.
