C——, December 11, 19—.

To the Manager of The Cordage Machinery Co.

Sir:—

In answer to your advertisement in the "Herald" of Sunday, the 13th inst., for a young lady to act as bookkeeper, I beg to apply for the situation. I am 18 years of age, and have assisted my father during the last four years in keeping his books; he is a general contractor and builder. I am quick at figures, and a good accountant. I should be very glad to offer my services for a month on trial, that you might judge of my general business ability and activity. I live with my widowed father.

Mrs. Willis, of 190 W—— Street, will answer any questions respecting me. She has known me since I was a baby.

Hoping for a favorable answer,

I remain,

Yours obediently,

Ethel Raymond.
