Free copies of this pamphlet, which is now in its fourth printing, are still available. An Experiment in the Retention and Preservation of Corporate Records by Carl H. McKenzie, explains in detail the application of record-preservation in a specific firm; published as a supplement to the BULLETIN in February, 1943, this, also, is still in demand throughout the country. Members who care to have extra copies of these pamphlets for their own use or for distribution to others may have them upon request.
