Advantage of Dictation.
I don't dictate, as the majority of men do. Dictation helps, no Jdoubt, giving you time to write micre letters. But it makes some writers very long-winded. I know a merchant who follows up his quotations for a cargo of wheat with long literary essays on all sorts of subjects. He hardly leaves, room for his signature at the foot of the second of two closely typed sheets. Correspon- dence is with him the spice of business; he exchanges views and opinions with other business men all over the country. But if he wrote by hand, would he write so fimuch?
