In some cases the paper usedis not good enough, or durable enough, tn quality to properly preserve important Records, Reports, etc., andin other instances it ts unnecessarily expen- sive and of a better quality than the use warrants. The recommendations tn the following pages are based upon a careful and extensive study of the uses and requirements of the letterheadings, office and factory forms that are used in modern business. We submit this guide to the selection of THE RIGHT PAPER FOR THE PURPOSE with confidence that it will be easy to follow, and with the knowledge that the Quality Standards herein recommended will, in most cases, result in true economy— giving you the utmost in paper utility, or in added prestige— quite often at an actual saving in cost. 111 i’ Oh iyi baby M 2 NN pa INDEX : PAGE FOREWORD iil BOND PAPERS THE FOUR FACTORS GOVERNING THEIR PURCHASE AND USE WHY NINE GRADES RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON ACTUAL TESTS THE WATERMARK INDICATES THE GRADE STATIONERY LETTER-SHEETS AND ENVELOPES COST OF IMPRESS SHOULD BE FACTOR IN SELECTION OF PAPER LETTER-SHEET AND ENVELOPE SHOULD MATCH WEIGHT OF PAPER IS IMPORTANT SELECTING THE RIGHT GRADE EXECUTIVE LETTERS GENERAL LETTERS CIRCULAR OR FORM LETTERS INTER-DEPARTMENTAL LETTERS GENERAL OFFICE FORMS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS CHECKS DRAFTS FILE COPIES INVOICES 10 MEMO SLIPS Il PURCHASE ORDERS II RECEIPTS . 12 STATEMENTS 13 REFERENCE BOOKLETS 13 oO OO COON DAMN M”AnN WW HD HH ae) OO FACTORY FORMS INVENTORY FORMS FACTORY ORDERS RECEIVING REPORTS REQUISITIONS STOCK REPORTS TIME-SLIPS DOCUMENTS BONDS AND STOCK CERTIFICATES CONTRACTS LONG TERM LIMITED SHORT TERM DEEDS MORTGAGES NOTES POLICIES PRICE LISTS FAC-SIMILE OF MARKS IN EAGLE-A BOND PAPERS THE SPECIFICATION CHART OF BOND PAPER USES THE GRADE CHART OF BOND PAPERS CHARACTERISTICS AND UTILITY OF EAGLE-A BOND PAPERS TABLE OF SIZES THAT CUT WITHOUT WASTE TYPEWRITER PAPERS AND MANUSCRIPT COVERS EAGLE-A QUALITY-STANDARD PAPERS EAGLE-A SERVICE HOUSES v1 Bond Papers Tue user of bond paper will demand certain qualities in the paper he chooses. All of these quality factors may be grouped under four headings, any one of which may be of such importance as to dictate the choice of paper: (1) Lire—the length of time which a paper may be expected to resist decay and deterioration. Obviously no definite term of years can be given to any paper, but enough is known concerning the permanence of rag papers and the limited life of sulphite pulp papers so that their division into three classes is universally recognized. These divisions are: Permanent Semi-permanent or Statutory Temporary Papers of the first class made hundreds of years ago are still in good condition. Papers of the second class will en- dure at least beyond the period of ordinary legal require- ments. The third class should never be used for records or papers which are to be retained for any length of time. (2) StrreEncTH—the durability to withstand the amount and severity of handling, exposure, and folding to which the paper will be subjected in office, shop, mail, or at destination. (3) APPEARANCE—the appeal to the eye and touch— in short, the general sense appeal made by the paper itself regardless of the message upon it. Quality, finish and color are the important factors affecting appearance. I Four Factors Governing Purchase and Use Nine Grades Cover all Requtre- ments The Correct Use of Bond Papers (4) Printinc Qua.iTies—the characteristics of the paper that make it suitable for a given method (or methods) of impress—such as printing, lithographing, die stamping, typewriting, pen and ink. In general the weight, opacity, finish, and erasive qualities must be considered with rela- tion to the kind or combinations of the method of printing employed. It is entirely obvious to anyone familar with the situa- tion that from the standpoint of the user of paper the nine standard bonds of the Eagle-A line (ranging from the high- est grade all-rag paper, the original bond—to the sulphite pulp paper) cover the entire field of bond-paper requirements. There is, of course, one grade of bond paper that will meet any requirement to which bond paper is subjected —the strictly First Grade, 100% rag bond which possesses practically unlimited /ife, maximum strength, splendid appearance and printing quality. A paper of this grade necessarily has all the essentials required by all users. On each of the lower-grade papers, one or more of these factors are sacrificed to some degree. The highest-grade bond is the only bond of complete utility, but using it for all purposes would be impractical, because the expense, in many cases, would be inconsistent with the use to which it 1s put. This economic factor, cost balanced against use require- ments, is one of the reasons for the existence of the other eight grades of bond papers. Each possesses the charac- teristics which enable it to meet certain definite require- ments at a price which is consistent with the nature of its use. See the Grade Chart on page 25. 2 For Business Purposes THE information on which the recommendations in this book are based was obtained by the technical staff of the American Writing Paper Company from research and actual tests in all particulars save one—that of appear- ance. It is obviously impossible to reduce appearance, a sense appeal, to a mathematical basis. We believe that our experience and familiarity with fine papers entitle our critical judgment of this factor to the serious considera- tion of the prospective buyer. In the following analyses the factors governing the selec- tion of paper appear under the word “Qualifications” in the order of their importance for the use specified. The factors considered are: Life Strength Appearance Printing Qualities THERE are seven (7) Eagle-A Rag Content Bond Papers. The Eagle-A Water-mark identifies each, added to which is a mark by which you can Crvatina the relative grade. (See illustration below.) In selecting ‘the right paper for ie purpose’, it is there- fore not essential that you remember the name of the Recom- menda- tions Based on Research anda Actual Tests The Water- mark Indicates the Grade The Correct Use of Bond Papers particular Eagle-A Bond desired, since this water-mark indicates the grade, and gives the necessary information in regard to relative quality. The word Quality contains seven letters, one for each essential grade of rag-content Bond. The small arrowunder the letter Q in the foregoing mark indicates that the paper in which it appears is the first grade of Bond—Coupon Bond. In Agawam Bond, the next grade, the arrow appears under the letter U. In Acceptance, under the letter Y. Hence by noting the position of the arrow, the relative quality of the paper can be determined without reference to the name. In the two Sulphite Grades, the word “‘Sulphite” ap- pears in the mark in or on the paper so that the Sulphite (temporary paper) may not be confused with the rag con- tent (permanent and semi-permanent) papers. See page 23 for complete fac-similes of these two types of marks. SULPHITE Stationery TuE letter-sheet of an organization reflects its person- ality. In the absence of a personal representative, the letter-sheet exerts an influence on the good name of the firm that cannot be overestimated. This fact is generally realized and the tendency is to send out the best represen- tative possible in the form of stationery. The appearance of a letter-sheet is the prime considera- tion, and a truly impressive appearance is obtained by using a rag quality (permanent) paper. In GENERAL, all kinds of printing may be successfully done on bond papers of any grade, but as a practical matter there are other factors to be considered. For in- stance, when the method of printing to be employed is expensive, the use of a low-grade paper is not justified, as it spoils the balance of the finished product. The various forms of printing must be given careful consideration, not only in regard to the surface character- istics of the paper, but the ratio between cost of printing and cost of paper. | The qualities of strength and life are assured because all papers which possess the finest and most impressive ap- pearance are necessarily both strong and permanent. A LETTER-SHEET, second sheet, and envelope, being parts of a unit, should be uniform, and therefore all should be of the same paper. The impression made by a low-grade envelope cannot be overcome by a high-grade enclosure, 5 Letter- sheets and Envelopes Cost of Impress Should be a Factor in Selec- tion of Paper Letter- sheet and Envelope Should Match Weight of Paper ts Important Selecting the Right Grade The Correct Use of Bond Papers nor, would it be wise to have the envelope of a higher grade than the letterhead. The utmost effectiveness is obtained when the Enclosure and the Envelope are of the same paper. In most cases the substance weight of the letter-sheet is important; 20-lb. substance should generally be used. Added character and quality can be obtained in the use of 24-lb. substance, while on the other hand, 16-lb. substance should be used only where postage cost is an important consideration. A LARGE firm often chooses, and rightly so, two or more grades of paper for outgoing mail. In such cases the choice is generally made of a first-grade bond for the executive officers’ letter-sheets and other letters intended to make or influence a sale, while the routine correspondence may be sent out on a second, or third grade paper. The nature of the merchandise or service in question, - and the position of the seller in the market, and above all the character of the clientele to be reached are some of the factors that must be considered in making a proper selection. The nine Eagle-A Bonds cover the entire field of bond paper requirements and will enable a choice to be made in accordance with any combination of qualities which may be necessary. Six of these bonds are also carried in the Eagle-A typewriter line. (See page 28.) The following examples, typical of requirements calling for various grades of bond paper, show factors to be con- sidered in making a proper choice: 6 For Business Purposes Qualifications Recommendation 1. Appearance a. Coupon Bond 2. Life with Envelopes to match 3. Printing Qualities 4. Strength THE appearance of a letter originating in the executive offices of a corporation must reflect the character and sta- bility of the organization and the business represented. A paper that possesses the requisite appearance and char- acter necessarily has the quality that assures long /ife and suitability to appropriate forms of impress. The paper is generally die-stamped, steel plated or lithographed in order to make the letterhead more impressive and worthy of the executive’s importance. Only paper of the first bond grade can be considered as representative of the executive; 20-lb. or 24-lb. substance should be used. * * * Qualifications Recommendations 1. Appearance a. Agawam Bond a Life 6. Persian Bond 3. Printing Qualities with Envelopes to match 4. Strength MANUFACTURERS, wholesalers, and business houses whose correspondence is directed to people of discrimination should use a letterhead that is both distinctive and rep- resentative of the firm. Such firms will employ Printing, Lithography or Die Stamping to obtain a letterhead in keeping with the standing of the organization and will naturally require a paper of character. The weight should not be less than 20-lb. substance. 7 Executive. Letters General Letters Circular or Form Letters Inter- Depart- mental Letters The Correct Use of Bond Papers As A RULE these letters are either multigraphed or printed. When the letter is from the executive or sales department use of the regular letterhead is customary. Where it is obviously a circular letter a different grade may be advisable. As the purpose of these letters, how- ever, is to impress the prospective buyer, appearance should not be sacrificed for a saving in paper cost which is relatively small in proportion to the total cost of the letter. No recommendation is made for obvious reasons. Theutmost effectiveness is obtained when the Enclosure and the Envelope are of the same grade of paper. bs * w Qualifications Recommendations 1.

Although most inter-departmental let- ters are transitory in value, a certain percentage, whose ° significance can never be known in advance, is of more lasting importance. This necessitates some consideration of the /ife factor and resistance to wear. General Office Forms Aut office forms should be of sizes that can be cut without waste from 22 x 34, 28 x 34, and 24 x 38, the standard sizes of bond paper.

II Memo Slips Purchase Orders Receipts The Correct Use of Bond Papers Where the information on the Purchase Order is car- boned to other record or notification forms, each of these copies must be considered separately as well as with rela- tion to the others. The determining factors for the original Purchase Order to the vendor are appearance and life. The analysis applied to letterheads should be adopted in making this selec- tion. The number of copies will determine the weight. For instance, eight copies can be easily made from the 16-lb. weight. The number decreases to six for the 20-lb. Other conditions being the same, the higher grades are necessary as the weight is decreased. For instance, the strength of 16-lb. paper in the higher grade bonds is equal to that of the 24-lb. paper in the lower grades. ‘The amount of han- dling will dictate the grade for each copy. For example, in purchase orders requiring numerous copies, where copies are made out for file, receiving clerk, accounting depart- ment, and the person for whom the purchase is made, it 1s not necessary to use the same grade of bond paper in all the copies, because the use factor of each varies. * * * Qualifications Recommendations 1, hate , A Bonn paper of permanent or semi-permanent quality is essential according to the /ife required, or statutory limi- tations; other qualities are unimportant. * % * 12 For Business Purposes Qualifications Recommendations 1.

See Grade Chart page 24. ‘TYPEWRITER papers are primarily bond papers, specially made for typewriter purposes. They are plain and mar- ginal ruled, cut to letterhead and legal typewriter sizes, such as 8 x 104, 8% x 11, 8 x 13, and 8% x 13, and boxed in reams of 500 sheets for the convenience of user. While the usual bond papers are not made in less than 13-lb. substance weights, the frequent cases where a large number of carbon copies is necessary require even a lighter weight in typewriter papers. ‘This makes necessary the use of high-grade materials in order to obtain the strength essential in a thin sheet. American Manuscript Covers Manuscript Covers, as their name indicates, are for use as outside covers of manuscripts and documents. They should possess quality and durability to withstand a great amount of folding and handling, as well as strength and Jong life to protect the papers therein contained. 28 Eagle-A Quality- Standard Papers COMPRISE A GRADE FOR EACH PRINTING, STATIONERY AND ADVERTISING REQUIREMENT Bonps (9 grades) Couron AGAWAM PERSIAN ConTRACT AIRPOST CHEVRON ACCEPTANCE NorMAN TELEPHONE LINENS (2 grades) U.
