Sir Isaac Pitman Shorthand Exercise No. 84 Total Words= Dear Mr. Payne, I-have-known Mr. John Lane for thirteen years, and-I-am of-the opinion that-he-will make a very desirable member of-your club. He began work with-us as a stenographer, and-has risen by successive steps to-the post of general manager. He-has a fine personality, and-we-feel that-it-is an honor to-have-him as a member of-our firm. Very-truly-yours, From January until the summer we-have decided to-keep our store open on-Thursday nights until nine o’clock. It-will-be open every Thursday night until June, and-from then on we-shall close at 5.30 p.m. as-usual. Within-the past few years, the volume of business in-the southern districts has-been much larger. In-some industries, business has-been better-than in similar industries in-the northern and eastern districts. Such industries as cotton textiles have shown a marked increase in-the past ten years. In-my-opinion; in-the next ten years there-will-be increases larger-than those that those that-have-been already noted. Because-of-the lack of-rain in-some of-the western districts of Canada, dust storms have often occurred. These storms have-done much damage to farms and-crops. Some of-the districts in-the western corn belt have-been affected. Large numbers of farms have-been covered in dust and it-has-not-been possible to-grow anything. In-many-cases, houses have-been entirely buried beneath a load of dust.
