CHAPTER XXXVI 157 you need a street number take that belonging to some church or pub- lic building or a number higher than is known to exist. There is no 728 Wall Street in New York, so no landlord can enter a "strike" suit. This is even more important where a residential address is used. 14. Next to the letter the telegram is most useful; perhaps it is even more useful, when it can properly be employed, because of the brev- ity with which it is written, but a telegram must not be used merely because it is brief, but because the situation seems to require a tele- gram instead of a letter. 15. In writing in the telegram you tell whether it is a straight mes- sage, a night or a day letter, and write the message accordingly. You do not give the check marks, but you do give the point of transmis- sion, the date, the address of the recipient, the message and the signa- ture. The company will supply the rest. 16. As a general thing it is better to show the letter or other writ- ten message at the time of its preparation and not at the time of its receipt.

You do not write that the will is shown but say: On screen —folded paper marked Last Will and Testament of Jared Jackson This is all you have to do with the matter. The title room will get one of the law blanks ready printed for that purpose and fill this in properly. It is the same way with all other legal documents. They may be had ready nrinted. merely requiring to be filled in. In the same way most studios will have the bond books of some defunct com- pany or some old bonds which can be altered to suit the circumstances* 18. If you wish to show the body of the instrument it will be neces- sary to indicate Just what you want. For this purpose some book on legal forms intended for lay use such as might be comprehended un- der some such title as Law at a Glance will be useful in showing you what to write. If you prefer you can get a form from, your lo- cal stationer and copy this. You do not send the blank with the script. 19. Newspaper clippings are also useful and have the added merit
