These are suggestions only, much depends upon the individual; make your own reminders. The same exchange may be more easily remembered by different visual images for each of us. Use the means that suits you best. If the exchange is represented by a reminder make the double visual impression, as—
An Abstract Co., Champa 1208
They have the Champion TIN SAFE
A Restaurant, Main 8518
They have Main(ly), VEAL TOUGH
Remembering Addresses
A student was asked to call upon a party at 2214 Third Street, and was cautioned by the man giving the address that he had better write it down. The student remarked, "It isn't necessary, I can easily remember it." Which remark, needless to say, created a favorable impression. 22 is NUN, 14 is DEER. The student made a mental picture of a NUN leading a DEER HOME (Third Street).
Another address was 1939, which is quickly transferred to a picture of a TUB and a MOP.
Remembering Fractions
Fractions can be converted into words and thus carried in the mind with exactness. A great many are illustrated in the following list. These words all begin with the letter S for uniformity and to make it easy to remember that the word represents a fraction:
| 1/2—Stone | 1/5—Steel | 9/10—Spats |
| 4/5—Sorrel | 1/8—Stave | 1/6—Stage |
| 1/4—Steer | 5/6—Sledge | 3/5—Sawmill |
| 3/4—Summer | 1/3—Stem | 7/8—Skiff |
