SUBSCRIBER
It has been suggested that the pro-
per salutation would be simply "Gen
lemen," but this would manifestlj
be incorrect, because the senior mem
ber of the firm is a woman, and grant
ing that the son is a gentleman and
manager of the business, he should
not be addressed in the plural. "Sir'
would be objectionable because it
would ignore Mrs. Blank altogether
"Dear Madam" would not do, because
then the son would be Ignored. Pos-
sibly the most appropriate salutation
would be "Madam and Sir." It's up
to those who know, or who think the>
do. What's the answer?
