How TO letter - Practice a few minutes with a dry pen, following the strokes or principles given in this number, then write copies of same on your practice paper. Before commencing to letter see that your pen throws a full and clear stroke. Have a small slip of paper at hand to make test strokes before beginning on any particular work. If you are careful a base line will be all that is necessary to preserve the proper position. Go slow, study the position and movement of the different characters. In lettering ai ways use downward pressure and only sufficient to make the ink ow. The pen should never be moved upward unless running edgeways. Fine lines are made by sliding the pen in this way, either up or down.
To be successful in this line of work it is very important to pay particular attention to every detail connected with each number, studying as well as practicing the outlines and construction of each letter.
