Back in the day, people wrote letters for business all of the time. Letterhead design was as important then as home page design is today! I still believe a handwritten note on personal or company letterhead can make recipients feel extra-special. It's an especially handy tactic for following up on a job interview, a business meeting or a pitch. Here are some lovely vintage letterhead designs from around the web to inspire you!

Cool letterhead designs. Thanks for sharing.
I am wondering if the MGM letterhead's dates are for some future event back in the time or was it for a historical date. If it was a future event, how often do they change their letterheads???
