Gentlemen: I wish to change the order I sent you some days ago for a Tudor cottage. Since then I have been informed of an expected addition to our family circle, and as we shall now need more room, I wish to order the Fordore Mansion model instead.
Yours very truly, * Herbert *Help.

Gentlemen: Having ordered a Fordore Mansion from you recently, I was'more than surprised this morning when the postman delivered a package containing five dog houses, a two-car garage, a Scottish castle with battlements, a filling station and a small church. This is not what I ordered. Will you please investigate and see if there has not been some mistake?
ours very truly, Herbert Help. ***
Mr. Herbert Help, Esq.
Dear Sir: Through an etror in our shipping department, you received the entire village of Worsthurst, a new suburban development on the Hudson. We are extremely sorry that this occurred and are mailing your Fordore Mansion today.
Yours very truly, Montmorency, Wart Co.

Gentlemen: The Fordore Mansion that I ordered sorne time ago has not arrived, but twins have. Our landlord has put us out and we are now compelled to live over a Giffte Shoppe, where the noise and the smell of varnish are very trying to my wife. Will you please send our hotrse at once?
Anxiously yours,
Mr. Herbert Help, Esq.
Dear Sir: We have investigated the matter and find that your house has been lost in the mails. As we are, for the present, sold out on this model we are sending you for temporary use one of our modernized copies of the House of Seven Gables. When you receive your house, will you please wrap this one carefully and return to us?
Yours very truly, Montmorency, Wart Co.
