CHAPTER LXIV 323 carbons, one for your own use and the other to be sent a company, should it ask for one when it sends the check for the original. 17. For your practice work anything that is cheap will do. Only you will see it and you can do as you please. This you use in do- ing your exercises and in laying out scripts. Sometimes you can get copy paper from the newspaper job office. This is generally any waste paper cut to size and used by the reporters. 18. Never permit a piece of "onion skin" paper to be brought into the house. Some very new authors foolishly imagine that it is so nice and thin that they can save a lot of pennies in postage stamps. It does cost less to mail out, but where is your profit to come from if no one ever looks at your story? If there is any one thing that Editors unite in detesting, it is the onion skin paper. This is a paper used where many carbon copies are to be made at one im- pression, and with this you have nothing to do. 19. Carbon paper comes in varying grades and weights. Get the heavy weight. You will not need more than two carbons of a story and this will serve. The lighter weights will more quickly crease and tear. Do not get a whole box of carbon at first. You will not need it. Get a half dozen sheets. When you commence to sell, you can buy by the box. 20. Envelopes will be explained in the next chapter. 21. Get a rubber stamp with your name and address. The best will be a gothic letter and about a ten point size. Have it made as shown in Example A. and not as in Example B. In other words you have the type centered. Get a black inking pad to go with it and use it for the manuscript sheets and in the corner of your going envelope. JOHN JONES JOHN JONES 4-1144 BROADWAY 41144 BROADWAY NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK CITY. Example A. Example B. The right and wrong style of rubber stamp. 22. If you do not want to go to the expense of a stamp, type your name on each sheet as shown in Appendix B. This will suffice though the stamp will be handy. 23. You will need a box of paper clips. Get one of the sort that will not perforate the paper nor permanently fasten it. The brass Niagara clip is about the best for this purpose. The steel wire form marks the script more and is apt to rust. These clips are at- tached to the upper left hand corner of the script and but one is used. 24. A plot book of some sort and a manuscript record will be needed, but do not get a scale for weighing manuscript until you can afford to buy a post office beam scales. The cheap spring bal- ances are not to be used. Until you can buy your own scales, have
