Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Write a Business Letter: For Use in Offices, Schools, and as a General Reference Book It is computed that there are written in the United States an annual average of eight letters for every man, woman and child of our population. In other words, nearly 650,000,000 letters are handled once in every twelve months. There is no practice so common as letter-writing. There is no one factor in the world of commerce upon which so much depends, nor no method of communication in our social life quite so delightful. If the sending of letters should become illegal, untold bonds of friendship would be broken, business paralyzed and thousands denied the means of a livelihood. Letter-writing is rapidly becoming one of the first essentials of a young man's ability. It is recognized as an all-powerful influence in determining where a position may go. It is not enough to be able to write a "good hand," but the young man of today must be able to marshal his thoughts in such a way as to carry weight, interest, attention and conviction. Letter-writing is also the best and cheapest means for creating sales. When Uncle Sam can take a letter into any part of this country of ours, many are realizing that if they can only get a correspondent capable of placing the facts before a possible purchaser in a convincing manner, the salesman can be withdrawn. The ordinary salesman of ability, getting a salary of $2500 a year, will cost another $2500 a year to send him around the country. $5000 a year spent in letter-writing, paying the correspondent the same salary the salesman is paid, will bring a house in contact with fifty times as many people. So much for the importance of the subject. Now read, study and think about what follows, with a firm resolve to get more familiar with the fascinating and profitable art of doing business by letter.
