The Law Society’s Gazette, 12 July 1989 Project 1992 – doing nothing could prove costlySolicitors are getting the message that 1992 [the year the single European market becomes fact] is not to be ignored.

The Law Society’s Gazette, July 1959 Anyone would think I was just a machine! [Advertisement]If yours is anything like a typical office, you are likely to find at least one young lady who’s rapidly losing her shorthand because of all the copy-typing she has to do. She says she might as well be a machine – but she’s wrong! When it comes to copying, the all-electric Thermo-Fax All-dry Copier costs far, far less than a typist and produces a copy in much shorter time than it takes to put paper in her typewriter. There is no messy chemical processing, no fuss, no bother, no time wastefully used and a great deal of money saved. May we demonstrate?
