(Continued from Page 23) you must decide whether to address the card to the man and his wife, whom you may not know. If both names are included, it is preferable to send the card to the recipient‘s home rather than office.

However, envelopes should never be addressed by typewriter, and cards must be printed or hand signed. The best rule of thumb to follow is to hase your own good judgeâ€" ment on the depth of social and business involvement with each name on your list. Your regard for the recipient will dictate the type and manner of signature, R BECAUYSE YOU GIVE Proper Etiquette 91 EAST DON ROADWAY â€" TORONTO 8 â€" 461â€"0411, CARLTON CARDS LIMITED Photos: Dapar We were very pleased to have supplied the Portable Fire Protection Equipment For This New Building.
