The expert accountant is one of the
necessities OF modern civilization He

great corporations. He can take great
masses OF books aud evolve balance

averages for the insurance companies He

One of the most important functions of
the expert accountant is to show up de.
faulters. 1t often happens that business
men find their affairs getting entangIed.
They know they have been making money;
but, somehow, they are running behind.
They have relied upon some trusted book
keeper. So far as they can see the books
are all right. but the results unsatisfac-
tory. They do not like to suspect the
trusted servants but they want to be salts.

II is surprising how many concerns there

The expert accountant may strike it at the

Maumee Valley Savings and Loa n
Company.
This is the name of an association which
was organized in January last in this city
with capital stock of 100000. The name
implies the objects of the company, and if
honestly conducted will be of much benefit
to worthy individuals and the community at
large. e Over $4,000 stock has already been
taken, and no doubt the full amount will be
subscribed when the people rightly understand
the workings and benefits of the association.
The board of directors consists of the follow
ing gentlemen Geo, Hildred, D. @. Brow Al,
T. G. Clewell and Geo. ]. Rexroth. Officers:
President, Jas. Donovan; Vice President,
Geo. Hildred; Secretary, Il. VanC Campen, Jr.;
Treasurer. Chas. H. Gidley; Attorney, w.
W. Campbell. Article of the organization
sets forth "This company is organized for
the purpose of raising money to be loaned
among the members thereof, for use in buy
ing lots and houses, In building or repairing
houses, and for such other purposes as are
authorized by law" The company affords
an excellent opportunity for men of limited
means to secure home of their own, which
they can pay for in small weekly payments,
and quite number have improved the op-
portunity,

Don't Wait,

When you see q good bargain don't wait
until some one else takes it in and then go
and kick yourself because you did not take it.
Saur & Balsley have good bargains for all in
wall paper and paints, and those who will
take advantage of them during the next 80
days will save money: We say 90 days be-
cause they are just now making special eff
fort to reduce their stock which is yet large
and full. There are many people yet who
do not know how very cheap the wall and
ceiling papers are at Saur & Balsley's drug
and book store, for the reason that they have
not taken the trouble to get prices, neither
do they know how beautiful they are because
they have not seen them. Don't fail to always
call at this house, examine their stock and
get their prices before buying and you surely
will save money.
