SUSPENDED FILING SYSTEM
NO LOST LETTERS
QUICK REFERENCE
NEAT & TIDY
The first thing to motive about this system is the instant and complete visibility of all the names or titles at a glance directly the drawer is opened.
The second, that the framework or cradle from which tho folders are suspended drops straight into any ordinary quarta or foolscap filing drawer, so that its installation entails no scrapping of present ting cabinets and consequently no needless expense.
Thirdly, the top channels on which the titles are indexed do not encroach upon the filing space or reduce the capacity of the drawer for papers.
