Letters Roll in When Written on a Roll
Bloomington resident Clinton Reynolds writes letters by the yard, composing 3,000 words on topics from the Bill of Rights to a Missouri trip in five hours five minutes. He used 100 feet of shelf paper 13 inches wide, refilling his pen five times. In 1942 he sent an 18 footer to a brother in the Service, and he buys shelf paper in rolls to carry on his correspondence. He says everybody should write letters more often.
