               portant to know the products  that a country exports. So,
               why  not use  the Link method to  remember them. Also, if
               you want  to  remember the general  outline of  the  map  of
               any country or  state, you can  always use  the idea that  is
               usually used to remember the shape of Italy.
                 Italy is shaped  like a  boot,  which makes  it  easy to  recall.
               If you look  at  the  map  outline  of  any  country, with a  little
               imagination you can make it  look  like something that  can
               be pictured.  Just associate that  to  the name of  the country,
               and you'll always have a general idea of its shape.
                 Now, if you fellows want to be  able  to throw  away those
               little  black books  full  of  addresses, you can.  Just remember
               the addresses of  the young ladies by using associations.  The
               same methods  apply  to  this. Simply  transpose  all the  num-
               bers into sounds, the sounds  into words, and  associate  the
               words to the  person living at  that  address.  If you made  a
               picture  in your mind of yourself flying  a rope,  and landing
               it  on a  carpet  (landed  rope)—it would help  in remember-
               ing  that Mr. Karpel lives  at 5211  (landed) 49th  Street
               (rope).
