The! net increase in membership in 1919 was less than 44,000—the lowest the United States has ever known—that of 1920 was| 667,000. Had it not been for the increase of the Roman Catho-' lic church of 158,000 in 1919, the returns would have shown a net }095 of over 100,000. The greatest gain during 1920 is credited to the Methodist group of churches—the increase be- ing 237,127, The Roman Catholics come next with a gain of! 15},434. the Baptists follow with gains of 129,283. Presby- terians gained 43,031; Lutherans, 31,389. Itis ipteresting to note that, while the number of ministers of all bodies increased from 193,636 in 1919 0 195,926 in 1920, the number of churches decreased from 231,150 to 230,594, or . a decrease of 556. !t is significant also to note that where the losses were heaviest in 1919, the gains were greatest in 1920.

It should represent the kind of business. or profession represented. This means that letterhead problems must be studied from an entirely new angle. The designing of a letterhead can- not be governed entirely by a set of hard and fast rules. If it could, personality and individuality would entirely dis« appeary. 3 Each letterhead representsan individual problem dif- ferent from any other, a problem. which, if handled right- ly, requires a careful selection.of the material used as well as type and a pleasing arrangement of both. Most people between whom business correspondence takes place never see each other.” Hence the tie that binds is their correspondence. When you first meet a man, you immediately, although sub-consciously, form an opinion of him, based largely up- on his appearance. In the same way, regardless of the ex- pression of a letter, the impression of its appearance has no small weight in your formation of opinion of the writer of :hat letter. And here is where the:letterhead.is all impor- ant. e : The letterhead has a very definite duty to perform and the letterheads we print are just enough out of the ordinary ~to express that—"‘I demand your»attent_ion.” nd ‘e would readily notice; PRINTED SALESMANSHIP New methods of selling goods haveé revolutionized all the business world during the last ten years.
