To our fellow members of the

American Institute of Accountants:
Last September when we issued a questionnaire for the purpose of col­
lecting comprehensive information on advertising, for presentation at the
annual convention of the American Institute of Accountants, we prom­
ised to send each respondent a summary of the facts gathered.
The questionnaire form provided no place for the respondent’s sig­
nature, and it is on that account, perhaps, that a considerable number of
questionnaires were received without any means of identification. If we
have a reply bearing your signature, a copy of our summary is enclosed.
If you replied to our questionnaire without giving your name, you naturally
are not now receiving the promised summary, but you have only to advise
us to receive your copy.
Furthermore, as it would have been a pleasure to present this ma­
terial to the entire membership at the Washington meeting, we will now
send the summary to any member of the Institute who asks for it. Our
only reason for not enclosing it is that we would not at this time take any
action which might be considered an unwarranted pursuit of an issue
temporarily disposed of.
Very truly yours,

Scovell, Wellington & Company.
