Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Correspondence and Postal Information When asked to teach Commercial Correspondence some years ago, the writer found his task most difficult and unsatisfactory. There were no books which treated the subject beyond the mechanical arrangement of a letter, followed by rules on punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and penmanship. Though all books on rhetoric emphasize the importance of letter writing, they give no adequate treatment of the subject; and such exercises as they furnish are generally trivial, meagre, inadequate, as, for example, "write a letter purporting to be from an aged doll"; "write a letter dropped from a balloon"; "write a letter applying for a position as first mate on a steamer, giving such particulars as would be likely to be required"; etc. There is no more useful accomplishment than the ability to write a good letter. It is one of those practical arts regarded as a guarantee of other abilities and helping to introduce one into the world. The extension of higher commercial education and the increasing growth in transacting business by correspondence undoubtedly require that serious study be given to this subject. As both teacher and student must have material with which to work, this book is submitted as presenting a course which is full, definite and practical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Correspondence The methods of the business man in the management of his affairs, and the methods of the teacher in conducting classes composed of those who are in pursuit of a commercial education, are not and can not be the same. They are, however, closely related, for the theory and practice of modern business supply the material upon which the attention of teacher and student alike is concentrated. As business practice changes and advances, the end to be sought in teaching must also change and advance. The teaching should be made more and more a specific preparation for the conditions existing in the commercial world, and no effort can rightly be spared that will tend to make this preparation thoroughly comprehensive and, at the same time, give it the greatest possible semblance of reality. The student should be called upon to meet actual problems in the way in which they must be met in actual business, and he should be made to feel that this is exactly what he is doing when he undertakes the exercises in a text-book on correspondence: these exercises should seem to him pertinent and vital. With this end in view, the forms and exercises in this book have been taken from actual correspondence and from real conditions often encountered in a great variety of business pursuits. And it is especially with this end in view that the narrative of consecutive incidents connected with the correspondence of a single business enterprise has been given in Chapter XIV. The exercises based upon these incidents gain significance and definiteness from correlated transactions and from the policy involved in the conduct of the business as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Business Letter IN the modern evolution of business, the business letter plays an important part. It facilitates the handling of the daily routine and makes it possible to do business wherever there is a postal system. Whether a mail order business is carried on or not, the letter is no less important. Goods are bought, collections made, complaints adjusted, instructions given, business policies and selling campaigns outlined in the business letter. And where the selling is done by mail, the sales letter is with out a peer in importance. In short, the whole machinery of business is kept in Operation by means of the business letter. It is a factor in business which is steadily increasing in importance. Letters that have life and personality letters that draw trade are not easy to write. They call for specialization, and this field has begun to attract men of some literary ability. A good letter appeals to the reader in two ways: first, in its mechanical make-up and, second, in the presentation of the subject matter. The first requires correct arrangement, punctuation, paragraphing, margins, balance, and suitable stationery. This is necessary to the all-important first impression which the reader gets from the letter. For a successful handling of the subject matter, the writer must have a good command of English a smattering will not answer. The phrases must be well chosen, clear, convim cing, and adapted to the person to whom the letter is written.

Download or read book Commercial Correspondence written by Ralph Starr Butler and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Correspondence: Prepared in the Extension Division of the University of Wisconsin This course in Commercial Correspondence was developed in the University Extension Division for the purpose of giving applied instruction to those engaged in the actual conduct of business. The original notes were brought together for this purpose and to the instruction based upon these notes and their elaboration there was at once such a ready response and such a large demand that the present volume has naturally grown out of half a dozen years of experience in postal and class teaching, on the one hand, and the suggestive contributions of the business experience of many students, on the other. The course was originally outlined and developed by Mr. Ralph Starr Butler, assisted by some of his colleagues. The work was finally revised for publication with the cooperation of Mr. Henry A. Burd, who also prepared the appendices, A and B. While this text was primarily prepared for adults, and for correspondence-study instruction, it has also been found entirely suitable for the instruction of youths pursuing courses in business or commerce with the purpose of entering commercial careers. This course has two main purposes: 1. To teach the rules of grammar and rhetoric with particular reference to their application to business English. 2. To teach the best usage regarding the forms of business correspondence, to consider the essential qualities of all effective business letters, and to discuss in detail each of the more important classes of commercial communications. The chief endeavor is to carry out the purposes included in the second group, but the first is by no means neglected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Letters The business letter permits no wanderings into the eddies of personal idiosyncracy, however permissible and engaging such little jaunts may be in friendly letters. The business letter is a busy ness letter, be it remembered, and as such it must be plain and pointed at the same time that it is courteous and comprehensive. If it can contain by inference the radiance of a personality, the elusive lure of engagingness, the note of distinction that imbues the missives of Lady Mary herself, why, well and good. But these qualities must be found between the lines; they may not be played up and featured as they are in friendly letters.

Download or read book How the Post Office Created America written by Winifred Gallagher and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful history of a long underappreciated institution, How the Post Office Created America examines the surprising role of the postal service in our nation’s political, social, economic, and physical development. The founders established the post office before they had even signed the Declaration of Independence, and for a very long time, it was the U.S. government’s largest and most important endeavor—indeed, it was the government for most citizens. This was no conventional mail network but the central nervous system of the new body politic, designed to bind thirteen quarrelsome colonies into the United States by delivering news about public affairs to every citizen—a radical idea that appalled Europe’s great powers. America’s uniquely democratic post powerfully shaped its lively, argumentative culture of uncensored ideas and opinions and made it the world’s information and communications superpower with astonishing speed. Winifred Gallagher presents the history of the post office as America’s own story, told from a fresh perspective over more than two centuries. The mandate to deliver the mail—then “the media”—imposed the federal footprint on vast, often contested parts of the continent and transformed a wilderness into a social landscape of post roads and villages centered on post offices. The post was the catalyst of the nation’s transportation grid, from the stagecoach lines to the airlines, and the lifeline of the great migration from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It enabled America to shift from an agrarian to an industrial economy and to develop the publishing industry, the consumer culture, and the political party system. Still one of the country’s two major civilian employers, the post was the first to hire women, African Americans, and other minorities for positions in public life. Starved by two world wars and the Great Depression, confronted with the country’s increasingly anti-institutional mind-set, and struggling with its doubled mail volume, the post stumbled badly in the turbulent 1960s. Distracted by the ensuing modernization of its traditional services, however, it failed to transition from paper mail to email, which prescient observers saw as its logical next step. Now the post office is at a crossroads. Before deciding its future, Americans should understand what this grand yet overlooked institution has accomplished since 1775 and consider what it should and could contribute in the twenty-first century. Gallagher argues that now, more than ever before, the imperiled post office deserves this effort, because just as the founders anticipated, it created forward-looking, communication-oriented, idea-driven America.
