 your file may be indexed, you 
 will find here a description of 
 the best method of transferring 
 your correspondence. 
 
 Thirty-seven Years’ Exper¬ 
 ience Back of this 
 Booklet 
 
 One of the most important points 
 connected with the installation of a 
 new correspondence filing system 
 is the question of transferring. If 
 the system you propose to install 
 makes transferring a difficult or 
 tedious process, by all means look 
 into another method. The work of 
 transferring is something that must 
 be faced every year, and if the 
 right system is installed in the first 
 place, much labor and many mis¬ 
 
 takes will be saved. Read about 
 the "Y and E” Direct Name System 
 which reduces the work of trans¬ 
 ferring to the mechanical process 
 of lifting folders from one drawer 
 to another. 
 
 Thirty-seven years’ active partici¬ 
 pation in planning and systemati¬ 
 zing hundreds of business organi¬ 
 zations, makes our System Depart¬ 
 ment an authority on office systems.

(^•y HOW VO TRANSFER 
 
 Transferring from a Vertical File 
 
 T HE purpose of transferring 
 correspondence is to clear 
 the active file of old letters, and 
 place these old letters in a 
 storage or transfer file, where 
 they are nearly, if not quite, 
 as accessible as in the active 
 file. The active file should con¬ 
 tain only the correspondence to 
 which reference is made fre¬ 
 quently. It is evident that in 
 some lines of business, reference 
 will be made to correspondence 
 in the files for a much longer 
 period than in other lines. Thus 
 lawyers and contractors have 
 occasion to refer to all corre¬ 
 spondence relating to a case 
 or contract from its inception 
 to its finish, which may extend 
 over a year or several years. 
 
 Experience has shown that 
 there are three general methods 
 of transferring, one of which is 
 undoubtedly suited to your 
 needs. These methods, so-called, 
 apply no matter what may be 
 the form of indexing you are 
 using, whether Direct Name, 
 Alphabetical, Geographical, or 
 Numerical. They are: the 
 Duplicate Equipment Method; 
 the Periodic Transfer—which 
 
 is identical in principle with the 
 first method; and the Continuous 
 Transfer, which differs in princi¬ 
 ple from the first two. 
 
 The Duplicate Equipment 
 Method 
 
 F you are just about to 
 adopt vertical filing get a 
 cabinet with enough capacity 
 so you will need only one-half 
 of it for the current year’s 
 correspondence. If you already 
 have a vertical cabinet with a 
 capacity of one year’s corre¬ 
 spondence, add another sec¬ 
 tional cabinet of the same 
 capacity at the end of the year. 
 In other words, purchase Dupli¬ 
 cate Equipment. 
 
 This method renders your 
 last year’s correspondence just 
 as accessible as your current 
 correspondence, and you know 
 that during the first few weeks 
 of the year you have as much 
 occasion to refer to the previous 
 year’s correspondence as you do 
 to your new letters. 
 
 The Duplicate Equipment 
 Method means a somewhat 
 larger initial cost, but this is 
 overbalanced by the great saving 
 of time which results.

TAPERS AND RECORDS 
 
 The Simplest Illustration 
 
 The illustration below shows 
 the way your cabinet will look if 
 you require only one drawer 
 for a year’s correspondence. 
 
 Example 1 
 
 Simply add another sin¬ 
 gle drawer Half Section 
 on top of the one con¬ 
 taining 1916 correspond¬ 
 ence. Then the lower 
 drawer c o n ta i n s the 
 last year’s records and 
 the upper drawer con¬ 
 tains the current corre¬ 
 spondence. 
 
 At the end of the year you add 
 another vertical drawer to your 
 stack of half sections, placing 
 it just above the first drawer. 
 Now you have a new drawer 
 
 labeled “1917” in which you 
 file your new correspondence. 
 
 During the first part of 1917, 
 the 1916 correspondence in the 
 lower drawer will be referred 
 to constantly, that’s why it 
 should be practically as accessi¬ 
 ble as the current file,—one 
 very vital reason why we rec¬ 
 ommend Duplicate Equipment. 
 
 But as the year advances 
 there will be less and less 
 occasion to refer to the 1916 
 file. Toward the end of the 
 year these occasions will be 
 very infrequent indeed. 
 
 At the end of 1917 the upper 
 drawer will be filled with 1917 
 correspondence. In order to 
 make room for the 1918 corre¬ 
 spondence, the 1916 matter must 
 be taken out of the lower drawer 
 and placed intact in a transfer 
 case, (see Example 2). The 1917 
 correspondence is then placed 
 in the lower drawer, leaving 
 the upper drawer for the new 
 year’s letters. It is handier 
 to get at the upper drawer, and 
 this should always be reserved 
 for the current year’s corre¬ 
 spondence. 
 
 The 1917 and 1916 corre¬ 
 spondence is practically intact 
 so that the work of transferring 
 takes but a few minutes. 
 
 5 
 
HOW <€0 TRANSFER 
 
 The 1916 correspondence, now 
 in a transfer case, is referred to 
 very seldom, and consequently 
 can be placed in the transfer 
 room or an out of the way 
 corner,—anywhere so that it 
 can be easily reached when 
 necessary. For the sake of con¬ 
 venience the illustration shows 
 transfer case alongside the 
 cabinet. 
 
 When correspondence is trans¬ 
 ferred from the cabinet to a 
 transfer case, entry should be 
 made on a “Record of Trans¬ 
 fer” guide as explained on 
 page 15. The transfer case 
 holding the 1916 correspondence 
 is given the number “one,” 
 and this number is written 
 on the “Record of Transfers” 
 guide which shows the inclusive 
 dates of the correspondence in 
 that case. In another year 
 when the 1917 correspondence 
 is placed in the transfer case, 
 this case is marked No. c 2, 
 and so recorded on the “Record 
 of Transfers” guide. The guide 
 is kept in the front of the drawer 
 containing the current year’s 
 correspondence, thus furnishing 
 a reference to all previous corre¬ 
 spondence. By glancihg at the 
 guide, the number of any de¬ 
 sired transfer case is secured; 
 and reference to old correspond¬ 
 ence is immediate.

 When beginning the third year then 
 transfer into a Transfer Case the cor¬ 
 respondence of two years ago, num¬ 
 bering the Transfer Case No. 1. Then 
 lower the correspondence from the top 
 drawer into the lower drawer, leaving 
 the top drawer for current corre¬ 
 spondence. 
 
 Transferring a Larger Vol¬ 
 ume of Correspondence 
 
 S O far we have explained 
 the method of transferring 
 a small volume of correspond¬ 
 ence, which only requires the 
 capacity of a single drawer. 
 
 Now, suppose your current 
 file occupies two or more drawers: 
 The principle is just the same 
 here—simply provide duplicate 
 equipment. 
 
 6 
 
PAPERS AND RECORDS 
 
 Again when transferring files of this nature make 
 use of the Transfer Cases at the beginning of the 
 third year, numbering the Transfer Cases No. 1 
 and No. 2. Then devote half of your four drawer 
 cabinet to last year’s correspondence; the upper 
 half to contain current correspondence. The cor¬ 
 respondence of two years ago is in the Transfer 
 Cases. 
 
 Here is an illustration of the 
 way your file will look if you 
 are using “Y and E” standard 
 horizontal sections, with your 
 current correspondence file in 
 two drawers. You use the two 
 upper drawers for 1917 corre¬ 
 spondence, labelling them “A 
 to K” and “L to Z, ” respect¬ 
 ively, since this will probably 
 divide the matter equally be¬ 
 tween the two drawers. The 
 two lower drawers are similarly 
 labelled for 1916 correspondence. 
 
 At the end of the year you 
 remove the 1916 correspondence 
 and place it in two transfer 
 
 cases numbered 1 
 and 2. The 1917 
 correspondence is 
 merely dropped 
 from the two up¬ 
 per drawers to the 
 two lower draw¬ 
 ers, and you are 
 ready to start the 
 new year with the 
 two upper draw¬ 
 ers ready to re¬ 
 ceive 1918 corres¬ 
 pondence. New 
 labels should be 
 inserted in the 
 drawers. 
 
 At the end of 
 1918 the process 
 is repeated and 
 two more trans¬ 
 fer cases are pur¬ 
 chased and numbered 3 and 4. 
 
 For Files of Greater 
 Capacity 
 
 ERHAPS your 1916 corre¬ 
 spondence occupies all your 
 available filing space, as illus¬ 
 trated by the “ Y and E” 
 Upright Section in illustra¬ 
 tion No. 4. You must transfer. 
 The logical solution of your 
 problem is to buy another up¬ 
 right section like your present 
 one and use it for 1917 corre¬ 
 spondence. Both the sections

 HOW <UO TRANSFER 
 
 Example 4 
 
 If it is necessary to di¬ 
 vide your correspondence 
 through four or more 
 drawers the upright or 
 vertical section should 
 be used. The first year 
 use a cabinet which will 
 just accommodate all of 
 the correspondence. Then 
 all four drawers can be 
 simply moved into four 
 corresponding drawers 
 when it is necessary to 
 transfer. 
 
 can be enclosed with the original 
 pair of ends, thus reducing the 
 cost of new equipment. 
 
 Now your cabinet contains 
 eight drawers as shown in illus¬ 
 tration No. 5. Your current file 
 and last year’s file are side by 
 
 side, both very handy for instant 
 reference. 
 
 At the end of the year 1917, 
 place the 1916 correspondence 
 in transfer cases, changing the 
 labels to correspond. This 
 leaves one of the four-drawer 
 uprights empty, all ready for the 
 1918 letters. At the end of 
 1918 the process is repeated. 
 
 The Periodic Transfer 
 
 HE Periodic Transfer is 
 identical in principle with 
 the Duplicate Equipment 
 method. The difference is that 
 the cabinet which is used has 
 capacity for a single year’s 
 correspondence only, instead of 
 for two years. In other words 
 your correspondence only re¬ 
 mains in the active file for a 
 year. It is then transferred to 
 transfer cases and the entire 
 active file used for the following 
 year’s correspondence. 
 
 Illustration No. 6 shows a 4- 
 drawer active file on the left 
 and four transfer cases on the 
 right. At the end of the year 
 correspondence is transferred 
 from the active file to the 
 transfer cases, drawer for drawer. 
 A “Record of Transfers” guide 
 is kept in the front of each active 
 drawer, as in the Duplicate 
 Equipment Method.

<:PAPERS AND RECORDS 
 
 Example 5 
 
 This illustrates the method of adding first a du¬ 
 plicate upright to handle one year’s transferred 
 records and second a stack of transfer cases for 
 the second year’s transferred records. This places 
 two years correspondence within constant reach. 
 
 Periodic Transfer consists in 
 transferring correspondence at 
 the end of regular intervals. 
 Most concerns transfer once a 
 year, and as a rule make the 
 transfer on January 1st, or at the 
 close of the business year. This 
 method keeps together all corre¬ 
 spondence from any one in¬ 
 dividual during the year. This is 
 a great convenience in referring 
 to old correspondence. The 
 transferred correspondence is 
 filed each year by itself. This 
 
 is much better than 
 transferring at ir¬ 
 regular intervals; 
 that is to say, wait¬ 
 ing for the drawers 
 to fill up before 
 the transfer is 
 made. 
 
 Although the an-* 
 nual transfer is the 
 common practice, 
 there are some con¬ 
 cerns who transfer 
 twice a year,— 
 generally on the 
 1st of January and 
 on the 1st of July. 
 These are concerns 
 who have occasion 
 to refer to very 
 recent correspond¬ 
 ence only. In cases 
 where it is desired 
 to transfer every 
 six months, it 
 is recommended 
 that a cabinet be procured with 
 a capacity for an entire year, 
 and that the Duplicate Equip¬ 
 ment method be used,— half of 
 the drawers for the first six 
 months, and the other drawers 
 for the last six months of the 
 year. 
 
 Periodic Transferring with 
 Colored Folder 
 
 An excellent method of trans¬ 
 ferring used by some concerns 
 is to select certain “transfer 
 
 9 
 
HOW <U0 TRANSFER 
 
 dates” every six months or so, 
 like January 1st and July 1st, 
 and use different colored folders 
 to differentiate each period of 
 the year. 
 
 For example: When the Filing 
 System is started, say on Jan¬ 
 uary 1st, 1917, all manila folders 
 are placed in the cabinet behind 
 the index guides. On the first 
 transfer date, which would be 
 July 1st, 1917, all the manila 
 folders are dated with the closing 
 date and a series of colored 
 folders are placed in the cabinet, 
 a colored folder in front of 
 every manila folder. Upon the 
 second transfer date, January 
 1st, 1918, it is very easy and 
 convenient to go through the 
 Filing Cabinet and remove all 
 the manila folders, which, of 
 course, contain the correspond¬ 
 ence from January 1st to July 
 1st, 1917. At this time all the 
 colored folders are marked with 
 the closing date and a new 
 series of empty manila folders 
 placed in the drawers. 
 
 The Continuous Transfer 
 
 The principle of the Con¬ 
 tinuous Transfer is to remove 
 from the active file at frequent 
 intervals, all letters which have 
 been in the files for a certain 
 length of time. This is called 
 the Continuous Transfer because 
 the drawers of the cabinet are 
 never entirely empty of their 
 contents. 
 
 First of all make sure that 
 your cabinets will hold a full 
 year’s correspondence without 
 over-crowding.

 Example 6 
 
 The equipment used in periodic trans¬ 
 ferring is the same as that illustrated 
 on page 9. In the above illustration 
 we show but one vertical section, the 
 contents of each drawer having been 
 transferred direct to the four-drawer 
 transfer case at the right. The trans¬ 
 ferring is done all at one time at 
 stated intervals. 
 
 See that every folder bears 
 the date of the first letter. 
 When a folder is filled, mark on 
 it the date of the last letter. 
 This dating of each folder is 
 essential to the success of the 
 method.

 Transferring by the ”Y and E” Direct 
 Name System 
 
 T HE Direct Name System 
 reduces the problem of 
 transferring to the simplest 
 terms. By this system the work 
 of transferring can be done by 
 the office boy and with absolute 
 accuracy in less time than it 
 takes the experienced file clerk 
 to transfer by any other system. 
 If you are now using the “Y 
 and E” Direct Name System of 
 vertical filing you transfer 
 folders only, leaving the cellu- 
 loided pressboard guides in the 
 current file to be used over and 
 over again. 
 
 Another good method is to 
 remove the entire contents of 
 the active drawer and place it 
 in the transfer drawer, then 
 remove the guides and put 
 them back in the active drawer. 
 Some of our customers think 
 this method is quicker than 
 merely removing the folders. 
 The question of which method is 
 quicker merely depends upon 
 the number of folders behind 
 a guide. 
 
 The tabs of the folders which 
 contain the miscellaneous cor¬ 
 respondence are guide height and 
 serve as guides in the transfer 
 case. You buy no supplies for 
 the transfer file. 
 
 The celluloided press 
 board guides which remain in 
 the current file can be used 
 for years. By actual test, they 
 will last more than fifty times 
 as long as ordinary manila 
 guides. Thus you effect a large

 As these tabs are all guide height they 
 are used as guides in the transfer file. 
 You buy nothing for the transfer file; 
 simply move the folders.

 saving at this and every sub¬ 
 sequent transfer period. 
 
 For your next year’s current 
 file you get new alphabetical and 
 Direct Name Folders only. You 
 already have the guides. 
 
 Starting Your New File 
 
 If you are not now using 
 the “Y and E” Direct Name 
 System, by all means investigate 
 its possibilities before starting 
 your next year’s file. It com¬ 
 bines the advantages of alpha¬ 
 betical and numerical indexing, 
 and thereby eliminates the usual 
 disadvantages of the numerical 
 system when used alone. You 
 find papers alphabetically, as 
 you have been accustomed to 
 doing. You re-file them numer¬ 
 ically, because it is easier and 
 quicker to comprehend a number 
 than a series of letters. By the 
 use of this system, you reduce 
 errors to a minimum and cut 
 down the operating expense of 
 your files. 
 
 Notice the illustration on page 
 12. Just to the left of the center 
 are the guides,— celluloided grey 
 pressboard — practically inde¬ 
 structible. The tabs bear alpha¬ 
 betical subdivisions, (proven to 
 be the best, as described in 
 Folder No. 2878) and also con¬ 
 secutive numbers. 
 
 At the extreme left are the 
 tabs of the heavy manila folders 
 used for miscellaneous corre¬ 
 spondence. These tabs bear the 
 same alphabetical subdivisions 
 and numbers as the respective 
 guides. However, the folder 
 tabs are printed in red, so as to 
 be easily distinguished from the 
 guide tabs which are printed in 
 black. These miscellaneous 
 folder tabs are the ones which 
 serve as guides in the transfer 
 case. 
 
 Direct Name Folder 
 
 The right side of the file is 
 devoted to the tabs of the Di¬ 
 rect Name Folders—also manila. 
 One of these folders is made out 
 for each firm or individual with 
 whom there is a considerable 
 volume of correspondence. As 
 these Direct Name Folder tabs 
 are in a straight, unbroken row, 
 (no guide tabs intervening,) the 
 tendency is to refer to them 
 DIRECT without using the in¬ 
 dex on the guide tabs. This 
 saves a lot of time. 
 
 Every time one refers to a 
 folder in this manner, he neces¬ 
 sarily thumbs over two or three 
 others and gets a distinct mental 
 impression of their titles. Thus 
 a clerk who handles the file from 
 its beginning, can’t help but 
 know it by heart. A clerk 
 
 33 
 
HOW VO TRANSFER 
 
 broken in after the file has 
 grown to mid-season proportions 
 will soon acquire an equally 
 intimate knowledge of it. This 
 insures a speed and precision 
 in both filing and finding that 
 can’t be even approximated by 
 any other system. 
 
 Has Automatic Error 
 Check 
 
 The “Y and E” Direct Name 
 System is the best error check 
 that has ever been devised in 
 connection with Vertical Filing. 
 
 Note the Camera Mfg. Co. 
 folder in the illustration. It 
 bears the number “5.” Suppose 
 it had by mistake been dropped 
 behind guide “6.” All the other 
 folders behind guide “6” are 
 numbered “6.” If you did drop 
 a “5” folder among them, you’d 
 notice it instantly. It’s an 
 absolute check against misfiling. 
 You can be assured of corre¬ 
 spondence being where it should 
 be. 
 
 Decidedly Economical 
 
 The Direct Name System is 
 not only a great time-saver, but 
 it is equally economical in the 
 cost of materials. The guides 
 are pressboard, strong material 
 that will stand a great amount 
 of wear. 
 
 The guide tabs are celluloid, 
 making them practically in¬ 
 destructible, and offering posi¬ 
 tive assurance against their be¬ 
 coming finger-marked and 
 thumb -worn. Celluloided 
 pressboard guides, by actual 
 test, will last more than fifty 
 times as long as ordinary manila 
 guides. You can instantly see 
 the great saving it is thus possi¬ 
 ble to effect, by the use of this 
 system. 
 
 The “Y and E” Direct Name 
 System is described in greater 
 detail and shown in its actual 
 colors in our Folder No. 2878.

 Advantages of the W Y and 
 E” Direct Name System 
 
 1— Direct Name Folders are 
 guide height and in straight 
 row, unbroken by intervening 
 tabs. Thus each folder is itself 
 a guide and reference is made 
 DIRECT—a great time saver. 
 
 2— Combines all advantages 
 of alphabetical and numerical 
 systems, yet has none of dis¬ 
 advantages of the latter. 
 
 3— Both Alphabetical and 
 Direct Name Folders are num¬ 
 bered to correspond with guides. 
 
 4.—Correspondence is located 
 alphabetically—the easiest way.

 5. —Correspondence is filed 
 numerically-—the quickest and 
 safest way. It is easier to follow 
 consecutive numbers than alpha¬

 6. —In replacing folders, a

 prevents errors. 
 
 7. —Folders and guides oc¬ 
 cupy separate positions, thus 
 facilitating reference. 
 
 8. —Guide tabs are in two

 Keeping the Record of Transfers 
 
 I N every Vertical Filing Sys¬ 
 tem except where correspon¬ 
 dence is filed by number, one of 
 these large “Record of Transfers” 
 guides should be placed in the 
 front of every drawer of your 
 cabinet. When correspondence 
 
 is transferred a record of it can 
 be entered on this card by loca¬ 
 tion, by name, or by subject, as 
 well as the period of time covered, 
 and the number of the transfer 
 case in which the papers have 
 been placed.

 HOW VO TRANSFER 
 
 Transferring Geographical, Subject or 
 Numerical Files 
 
 W HAT has been said pre¬ 
 viously about transfer¬ 
 ring has had particular reference 
 to either Direct Name or Alpha¬ 
 betical filing. The same princi¬ 
 ples, however, may be applied 
 to the Geographical, Subject or 
 Numerical file. There is this 
 difference, however, between the 
 Direct Name system and any 
 other. The Direct Name system 
 does not require the purchase 
 of a single new guide at the time 
 of transferring. In other words 
 there are no guides in the trans¬ 
 fer cases. The other methods 
 of indexing all require guides 
 in the transfer cases. 
 
 A Geographical File 
 
 If your file is indexed by 
 location,—that is to say, by 
 states and towns, provide your¬ 
 self with a set of manila State 
 Guides for your transfer cases. 
 Should the correspondence 
 behind any one state guide be 
 considerable, a set of No. 25 
 alphabetical guides should be 
 used for classifying folders alpha¬ 
 betically by towns, or one-third 
 cut blank manila guides can be 
 used for the names of the towns 
 themselves. 
 
 Duplicates of the guides in 
 the active file should be used 
 in the transfer cases, except 
 that these transfer case guides 
 may be of ordinary manila, 
 instead of a more expensive 
 material. 
 
 A Subject File 
 
 If your file is indexed accord¬ 
 ing to Subjects, a set of guides 
 dividing the alphabet into 25 
 parts will probably be a suffi¬ 
 cient index for the transfer file. 
 However, where the volume of 
 correspondence on certain sub¬ 
 jects is particularly heavy, use 
 blank one-third cut guides to 
 supplement the alphabetical in¬ 
 dex. The subject headings can 
 be printed or written on the tabs 
 of these blank guides. 
 
 A Numerical File 
 
 If your correspondence is in¬ 
 dexed Numerically (an attorney’s 
 file, for example), use manila 
 guides in your transfer cases, 
 numbered to correspond with 
 the guides used in the current 
 cabinet. 
 
 At the end of the first year 
 go through the file starting with 
 the top drawer and transfer all

 folders in which the latest corre¬ 
 spondence is at least six months 
 old. This will take but a short 
 time if the folders are properly 
 dated. 
 
 This leaves all correspondence 
 for at least six months back in 
 the current file. Only those 
 letters which are at least six 
 months old will be in the transfer 
 cases. 
 
 At the end of six months 
 repeat this process and continue 
 the transfer thereafter at in¬ 
 tervals of six months. 
 
 Keep a “Record of Trans¬ 
 fers” guide in the front of each 
 
 drawer of your cabinet. Make 
 an entry for each folder that 
 you transfer. When one guide 
 is filled start another. Thus at 
 any time you can quickly ascer¬ 
 tain in just which transfer case 
 is any desired correspondence. 
 
 Provide yourself with enough 
 vertical transfer cases to equal 
 one-half the capacity of your 
 active file. Number the trans¬ 
 fer cases consecutively from 
 one up. Use manila guides as 
 an index to the folders in the 
 transfer cases. When the first 
 transfer case is full of folders 
 start transfer case No. 2, and 
 so on.

HOW “CO TRANSFER 
 
 "Y and E” Drawer Style Transfer 
 Cabinets for Vertical Filing 
 
 T HESE drawer-style cabinets construction, insuring against 
 are made of wood and are splitting or warping. Drawer 
 strong, capacious and convenient, sides are solid and very firmly 
 Each cabinet is a unit, but any fastened at both front and back. 
 
 The Drawer, pulls are bolted on, 
 not merely screwed. They can¬ 
 not be pulled off. 
 
 At the front of each cabinet 
 under the drawer are two fibre 
 rollers; and on the top of each 
 drawer, at the back, are two more 
 rollers; no matter how heavily 
 the drawer may be loaded, it will 
 roll easily. 
 
 These drawer-style cabinets are 
 made in bill-, letter- and cap¬ 
 sizes. Each is 21^4 inches deep 
 and has an approximate capacity 
 of 5,000 papers, practically the 
 same as the vertical drawers in 
 “Y and E” filing cabinets of 
 sectional or solid construction. 
 
 Any number of “Y and E ” 
 Drawer-Style Vertical Transfer 
 number can be stacked one on Cabinets stacked together will 
 top of the other, thus forming a make a complete cabinet; but for 
 solid, compact stack of any size, the sake of appearance it is well 
 The sides and front of cabinets to add a top and base. We 
 are paneled and of three-ply particularly recommend that the 
 
 e 
 
 Wooden drawer style transfer cases 
 stacked one above the other form a 
 complete cabinet of any size.

PAPERS AND RECORDS 
 
 sanitary base be used, both on 
 account of appearance and to 
 insure clean, sanitary floors. 
 
 One great advantage of these 
 cabinets is that you can transfer 
 one drawer a month if desired and 
 yet not have any empty drawers 
 around. Get another drawer for 
 each drawer transferred as your 
 needs require. 
 
 Sanitary Bases for "Y and 
 E” Transfer Cabinets 
 
 This strong, well made base 
 raises the stack of cabinets nine 
 inches from the floor. This 
 greatly improves the appearance 
 of your stack and also keeps the 
 lowest cabinet out of the reach of 
 mice. Another very important 
 advantage of the sanitary base is 
 that it allows plenty of space to 
 sweep underneath easily. 
 
 The standard base raises the 
 stack of cabinets three inches 
 from the floor. While it does 
 not admit of sweeping under¬ 
 neath, this base adds greatly to 
 the appearance of the stack, and 
 makes the lowest drawer more 
 accessible. 
 
 To improve further the^ ap¬ 
 pearance of your stack we recom¬ 
 mend the use of a top as illustrat¬ 
 ed. It gives the stack a neat, 
 solid appearance, and is easier to 
 dust and keep clean. 
 
 By adding a top to your stack an ex¬ 
 tremely neat and solid appearing stack 
 is formed. 
 
 Keep your lowest drawer out of the 
 reach of mice by using this “Y and E” 
 Sanitary Base. It raises the stack 9" 
 from the floor, and also permits you to 
 sweep under it. Decidedly sanitary. 
 
 This “Y and E” Standard Base will 
 raise the stack 3" from the floor.

 E” Upright Sections Nos. 804, 404 and 
 304, and Upright Cabinet No. 304C. 
 
 (See our Cabinet Catalog No. 2816.) 
 
 Each drawer holds about 5,000 papers. 
 
 These No. 704 Uprights are made 
 strong enough to withstand the hard¬ 
 est usage. The frames are of beech, 
 and the sides and panels of three-ply 
 maple. Drawer pulls and label holders 
 are of brass; drawer pulls are bolted 
 on, not merely screwed. Each drawer 
 
 operates on 
 roller bear¬

 panels are removable. They can be 
 quickly inserted or taken out without 
 tools. When Uprights are stacked side 
 by side only one set of eight panels is 
 required. These are used on the outside 
 ends, thus saving considerable expense. 
 
 Drawers may be had with or without 
 countersunk round rod, and with or 
 without compressors. Where com¬ 
 pressors are not desired, use adapt¬ 
 able metal followers to hold the contents 
 upright. These followers are described

 "Y and E” Steel Transfer Cases 
 
 T HESE well - built transfer 
 cases answer the purpose of 
 high grade filing cabinets for 
 transferred correspondence, yet 
 through economies of design and 
 manufacture they are sold for 
 about one-quarter the average 
 price of steel cabinets. 
 
 “Y and E” Steel Transfer 
 Cases are built of excellent 
 quality steel, all joints electrically 
 welded. Besides lifelong dura¬ 
 bility, steel offers protection 
 against rats, vermin, water, dirt 
 and climate. It is also non¬ 
 combustible. 
 
 These cases are particularly 
 well designed. They are finished 
 
 in the deep, pleasing “Y and E’’ 
 olive green and will look well 
 alongside the best office furniture. 
 
 The drawers operate on rollers; 
 open easily, no matter how 
 heavily loaded, or what the 
 climate is. 
 
 “Y and E” Steel Transfer 
 Cases have a greater capacity 
 than ever before gained in 
 transfer case manufacture. Each 
 drawer has a net filing capacity of 
 25 inches, so considerably fewer 
 cases will be required, thus 
 economizing your floor space. 
 
 Also they can be stacked and 
 locked togethei, right, left and 
 vertically, without tools. Made 
 in letter, cap, bill, and ledger- 
 sheet size.

 Style "B” Vertical Transfer Cases 
 
 F OR small capacity these are 
 unsurpassed. Even when 
 flat filing is used for the current 
 year, it is well to transfer to 
 this style case on account of 
 the greater ease of reference. 
 The fact that only a limited 
 number of papers can be filed 
 in one of these cases obviates 
 the necessity of guides being 
 used. 
 
 These style “B” cases are 
 very strongly made, the ends 
 and bottom being of wood, the 
 fronts and hinges reinforced with 
 tin, the sides of heavy jute 
 board, and the entire case 
 covered with a marbled paper. 
 A tape pull on each case comes 
 in very handy when removing 
 cases from shelves. 
 
 These cases are made 4 in. 
 deep, in bill, letter and cap 
 sizes. 6 in. deep in letter size 
 only. It’s a dandy case for the 
 money. 
 
 If your papers are few in number this 
 6" deep Style “B” case will keep 
 them right at hand and properly in¬ 
 dexed. 
 
 This Style “B” case is but 4" deep but 
 is an excellent file for taking care of 
 the few important papers which must 
 be handy when needed.

 Vertical Guides and Folders 
 
 T HE “Y and E” line of 
 filing supplies is .complete in 
 every respect. There are guides 
 and folders for every use—all 
 sizes and weights. 
 
 Vertical guides in manila or 
 pressboard with tabs, or exten¬ 
 sions, blank or printed, will 
 always give perfect service. The 
 most widely used guide is that 
 shown here, one-third cut tab. 
 All “Y and E” vertical guides 
 have a patented reinforced metal 
 bottom extension for locking 
 them in the drawer. 
 
 Vertical folders have a expansion. 
 
 Tabs on pressboard guides 
 can be covered with celluloid, 
 which increases the life of the 
 tab and presents a neater and 
 cleaner appearance in the file. 
 
 “Y and E” Vertical Folders 
 with the scoring at the bottom, 
 which allows for a jkg in. expan¬ 
 sion, always present a neat 
 orderly appearance in the files. 
 The manila stock will give the 
 most satisfactory service. A 
 yi in. tab or extension on which 
 is written the name or number 
 assigned to the folder is always 
 in plain view. 
 
 Guides in manila or pressboard have 
 metal reinforced bottom extension. 
 
 Alphabetical folders have tabs in red.

 A “Y and E” heavy weight folder 
 equipped with two metal prongs at 
 one end will insure the safety of your 
 papers. Prongs or tangs can be fur¬ 
 nished at either side of the folder or 
 at center of folded edge. 
 
 These “Y and E” pressboard folders 
 can be furnished with or without tabs. 
 The strength of the pressboard with 
 the linen expansion provides a con¬ 
 tainer which will give unusually long 
 service. 
 
 W Y and E” Binder Folders 
 
 Valuable papers should be 
 held intact in a “Y and E” 
 Binder Folder. Perforate the 
 paper and file it over the tangs 
 or prongs in this folder and it 
 cannot get away. A light com¬ 
 pressor passed over the ends 
 of the prongs keeps the papers 
 compact and insures their being 
 there when wanted. 
 
 Pressboard Folders 
 
 Do you subject your folders 
 to hard usage? If so, don’t 
 use manila or even YawmanotE 
 (see following page), but try 
 a folder made of everlasting 
 pressboard. Guides are made 
 of pressboard because they 
 receive rough handling and must 
 be of durable material. That 
 explains why you should use 
 pressboard folders. These fold¬ 
 ers have a one-inch expan¬ 
 sion, the hinge being of strong 
 linen. The folders can be fur¬ 
 nished straight cut or with plain 
 or metal tabs. The use of metal 
 tabs allows you to use the same 
 folder over and over again. Look 
 into it. Send for our Catalog 3016, 
 which illustrates and describes 
 the entire line of vertical supplies.

 YawmanotE 
 
 4 FTER long investigation and 
 varied experiments, we have 
 hit upon a tough, durable, light 
 fibre material—practically indes¬ 
 tructible—for making folders, 
 envelopes, file pockets, etc. 
 
 Y^awmanotE is the trade name 
 we have coined to designate this 
 line. It is easy to remember, 
 sounds like “ Yawman-Erbe. ” 
 
 To pronounce, say “Yawman,” 
 then “ote” as in “note.” 
 
 YawmanotE will not tear 
 or sag; quite a contrast to the 
 ordinary materials used in 
 making folders, envelopes, file 
 pockets, etc. In the construction 
 of all YawmanotE supplies, noth¬ 
 ing but the best quality of glue 
 is used (not mucilage), and they 
 will not pull apart. YawmanotE 
 is of a color that will not soil, an 
 item worth considering where 
 a great deal of handling is neces¬ 
 sary. 
 
 When extra durable folders, 
 file pockets or envelopes are 
 desired, use YawmanotE.

 Transferring from Genuine Shannon 
 Arch Files 
 
 Slide over posts in transfer case. 
 
 Close arches in transfer case. 
 
 S HANNON transfer cases are 
 made on the same principle 
 as the file drawer, and the papers 
 from the file are placed in 
 precisely the Same position in 
 the transfer case. The method 
 of transferring is simple and 
 easy, and if reasonable care is 
 exercised in transferring, the 
 papers can be found as easily 
 in the transfer cases as in the 
 file drawer. 
 
 To transfer correspondence 
 from the Shannon file, remove 
 the drawer from the cabinet, 
 placing it on a flat table or 
 desk; throw back the compressor 
 cover clear over the arches, 
 insert a transfer wire in the 
 upright posts, and lift the entire 
 correspondence intact with in¬ 
 dexes off the posts. Have your 
 transfer case lying open beside 
 the file drawer, and insert the 
 ends of the transfer wire into 
 the tubes of the arch in the 
 transfer case, and the papers 
 will slip down over the posts in 
 exactly the same position as they 
 were in the file drawer. Number 
 each transfer case consecutively, 
 as No. 1, 2, 3, and so on.

 Indicate on the compressor 
 cover in the file from which the 
 correspondence has been trans¬ 
 ferred the period of time covered 
 by that correspondence, and the 
 number of the transfer case. In 
 doing this you provide a record 
 of the exact location of all corre¬ 
 spondence transferred from that 
 particular file. 
 
 Always place a new index in 
 the empty file drawer. 
 
 heavy the load, arches are held 
 fast. They cannot gap. 
 
 To open, press arches toward 
 each other with your thumb 
 and forefinger. The arches are 
 hinged at their bases and can 
 be thrown back, allowing papers 
 to be slipped off the uprights. 
 
 Genuine Shannon Transfer 
 Cases are all of “Y and E” 
 make. The Lock Arch con¬ 
 struction is patented, and can- 
 
 Order by number. 
 
 We have applied the famous 
 patented Lock Arch idea to 
 our Shannon Transfer Cases. 
 Little “nibs” near the ends of 
 the arches interlock with corre¬ 
 sponding perforations in the up¬ 
 right portions. No matter how 
 
 not be found on any but “Y 
 and E” cases. 
 
 Made in fourteen distinct 
 sizes, meeting every requirement 
 both as to stock paper sizes 
 and capacity per case. Note 
 illustrations above. 
 
 Book-Style Binder Shannon Transfer Cases 
 
 Shannon Transfer Cases Nos. 
 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are not equipped 
 with the Lockarch, but have what 
 is termed a “ Book-Style ” Binder. 
 Papers are held in place by up¬ 
 rights, as in the other style of 
 case, but binder closes with a 
 simple catch, instead of the 
 
 convenient and time-saving 
 arches. However, this Book- 
 Style Binder is made just as 
 strongly as regular Lockarch 
 binder, and where papers need 
 not frequently be removed from 
 transfer case, this style will prove 
 entirely satisfactory.
