BEETHOVEN WASH=BAG
Two stories reach me to-day from a friend in New York who is seeking mail order and “follow up” ideas (says an Evening Standard writer.)
One about the laundry that encloses with its circular a reply-card saying, “Please call for a trial bundle and leave me also your 7 ins. statue of Beethoven.”
The other about an academy in Massachusetts which read that “Horace Taft was leaving Taft School” and wrote to “dear Horace,” suggesting that he might like to enrol with them, and enclosed a questionnaire asking such questions as “Do you like reading?” “How old are you?”
Mr Horace D. Taft, who is a brother of the ex-President, and who was resigning the headmastership of the school, replied that he very much liked reading and that he was 74 years of age.
