A Practical Journal for

BUSINESS MANAGERS, ACCOUNTANTS, AND OFFICE MEN.

This periodical, the only one of its kind, is now in its fourth volume, and enjoys a remarkable success in its special field, which it announces as comprehending “everything that facilitates business or contributes to its record.” Appreciating the immense facilitation which will be attained by the introduction into the counting-room of a language expressly adapted to intercourse with foreign nations, and believing that a knowledge of it will be considered a necessary part of accomplished office-man's equipment, the management of The Office has established a department devoted to Volapük, and entitled

“VOLASPODEL.”

This department is conducted by the Author of the Hand-book. It serves as a medium of communication for students and proficients in the International Language; gives them all the interesting news of the movement publishes reading-matter, correspondence, queries and solutions. In the number for December, 1887, there was begun a new course of instructions, entitled

Progressiv Lessons in Volapük,

With special reference to Commercial Correspondence.

By Charles E. Sprague.

These lessons are written in a familiar and easy style, giving thorough and careful explanation at every step. The teachings of the Hand-book will be re-enforced and supplemented by an entirely different form of presentation. As a training in English, the lessons will be of great value to those who have not given much attention to language-study.

This department of The Office will embrace any and all other
features which may be found of value.

The Office is published monthly at $1 a year in advance.
