tlW Costaren'tjustsomething pr clientspay.

Every year, a larger proportion of your fee i ncome is being swallowed up by overheads, while the demands on the modern law practice for a faster turn-around in clients' instructions are increasing daily. In addition, with many of the services of the legal profession charged at static fees and with o f f i ce costs continuing t o rise, more and more of those fees are being eaten away by staff salaries and overheads. All professions are under pressure and it is the fee-earners who are bearing the brunt of the increase in overheads and workload. IBM can offer s ome practical help and comf ort for the legal profession. Our range of memory typewriters is already bringing about dramatic changes in many legal offices. They have taken the drudgery out of routine pro- cedures and introduced methods of handling volumes of work faster, more efficiently and more economically. Using memory typewriters a first draft is produced, error free, in a fraction of the time required using conventional methods, and the fee-earner can make amendments comparing

only the amendment itself. Retyping a final draft or for example typing an engrossment is carried out automatically at speeds of up to 180 words per minute. Most of your routine correspondence can also be handled automatically releasing you for more productive work; while the secretarial drudgery is removed from the production of important documents. All this adds up to saving time —and that means money t oo — for you and your secretarial staff. You spend less time drafting and checking — they spend less time typing and correcting. Heretofore, handling paperwork in a legal office has become an ever increasing problem, hereinafter, IBM memory typewriters will make it easier for you. For further information, contact Mr. Tony Pickavance at IBM.
