The advantages Of business edu
catidn are as numerous as the stars i
heaven; but are within the comprt
henSion Of any man or woman VIII
desires to understand them. Lii
itself is so intimately connected wit
business transactions that the bulk {
it may be said to be continued serie
of gains and losses. 1t is only whe
we carefully enter into the details
these that We can with any degree
surety rely upon an ultimate gali
How can one succeed in this world {
receipts and disbursements without
record of them, which record is
itself the best system Of bookkeeping
How can a man succeed in bushes
without constant thorough know
edge of the exact condition of b
businessl Too many farmers an
other good men who fail to keep book
are too much surprised on day of Sc
tlement. If more Of them knew I'll
exact condition of their business the
would less frequently over reach then
selves. If a reliable business recor
could be referred to at any time u
man would be more economical, ii
wife who so often is considered g,
pensive would upon witnessing tt
enormous liabilities encountered /
more frugal, debts would be pai'
more people would have happy home
and think that when the final da
of settlement will come with each
us and it will be seen upon closing TIL
great ledger Of personal accoun5s b
tween man and man that we al
even with the business world, and v
owe no man anything; it will be
source Of great pleasure to our frien'
to have it said of US s'no creditor W
left to mourn his departure.
