Correspondence, 1952-1982
This series contains the business correspondence that Sol Taishoff kept on file at work. The series contains some correspondence from friends, but none from family members. Material from infrequent or one-time correspondents is filed in the miscellaneous folders (e.g., "A Miscellaneous").
Note that inconsistent filing methods over the years in Taishoff's office have scattered topically similar material into different parts of the Correspondence series. Researchers who are looking for information on particular persons or organizations are advised to look in both subseries within the Correspondence Series to ensure they do not miss anything.
Researchers may also want to check the miscellaneous folders, in case material that should be filed in a more specific folder was filed in one of these folders (e.g., a letter to WGN Broadcasting is found in the "W Miscellaneous" folder even though there are several folders in the collection for WGN correspondence.)
