WEBSTER'S

BUSINESS MAN;

OR,

COUNTING-HOUSE CORRESPONDENT.

Containing Plain, Practical Directions for Carrying
on every kind of Commercial and
Banking Business.

Including Mercantile Letters on every conceivable subject, Laws and Usages
of Banking and Brokerage, Forms of Official Papers of Shipping, In-
surance, etc., etc. Also containing an extensive and very
useful Glossary of Words and Phrases used in Com-
mercial and Banking Circles. Together with

a very full Exposition of the Specie

and Paper Currency of the
whole World, and

their Intrinsic and Nominal Value.

BY THE AUTHOR OF

"Webster's Chairman's Manual," "Webster's Reciter," "Webster's Practical Letter-Writer," etc., etc.

Webster's Business Man treats upon every topic incidental to the experience of a Business Man. While its main design is to instruct the reader in the details of Commercial Correspondence, the subject matter of these specimen letters embraces all points of interest to the general reader.

Prominence has been given to Banking, and the relationship between bankers and their dealers, inasmuch as hundreds of thousands of persons maintaining accounts of deposit and discount, are in ignorance of the duties of bankers and the rights and privileges of dealers.

To the body of the work has been appended:

1. A Glossary of the Technicalities of Commerce, or terms employed by mercantile men at home and abroad, as a peculiar and distinctive language not familiar to the general reader.

2. A Table of Moneys in which mercantile accounts are kept in various foreign countries, information all important to dealers in imported merchandise; and

3. Several forms of important documents not to be found in a majority of works upon book-keeping.

This work has been submitted to the perusal of several of our most eminent bankers and traders, and has invariably met with their approval.

This book contains over 200 pages, bound in boards, with a splendid illuminated cover. Price 50 Cents.

Copies of any of the above books sent, post-paid, to any address in the world on receipt of price. Address
