For the past few weeks an item has been going the rounds of the country press to the effect that Rev. Irl R. Hicks has been dead for the past ten years and that his almanac and weather forecasts have been kept up by a brother-in-law under his name. In the August number of his paper the now famous weather forecaster says: “If we are not alive and at the helm in our home and business, we and a whole lot of our friends and loved ones are a set of awfully deluded visionaries. If we have any brother-in-law, who has ever been connected with our business, in any sense whatever, we have yet to know it.” And thus is another hot weather canard that caught a whole lot of “greenies” exploded. The postmaster at Chicago reports that 10,000 letters are sent every month from that post office to the dead letter office at Washington. All this could be ayoidid and much an- J noyance saved to the writer of letters if you will simply write a return card on one corner of the envleope. If for any reason the letter can not be delivered it will then be returned to the sender. Ali letters of a business nature should by all means have a return card, and if the business man has any regard for his business standing in the estimation of others he will have his name and address artistically printed on his envelopes. The business man who writes his address or daubs it on with a rubber stamp conveys the idea of cheapness. If you don’t believe this note the effect on yourself when you receive one of them.
