Bindery has purchased and placed in his
establishment one of the "Dey" time regis
tiers. This is one OF the latest, and it is
claimed for accuracy, simplicity and ease
OF checking off time of employees to be the
best device yet invented for recording the
exact minute OF the arrival and departure
OF each workman. There are no cards,
checks or keys to be lost or lent to others,
and each hands time-forenoon, afternoon
and evening-is all recorded on a single
line. Two hundred men on one OF the
older style registers to make twelve hun
about five hundred twenty inches long,
while on the "Dey" register the whole
twelve hundred registrations for the same
number of men require but thirty. eight
inches of paper. and each mans six entries
are all together and do not require to be
sorted or checked out by the pay.clerk.
The Dey" time registers record cannot
be changed or marred by anyone. 1t is
complete and ready for the payroll when
it leaves the machine. MIR. Wheelock will
be glad to explain the workings of the ma
chine in detail to any persons interested,
and Twill be pleased to have them call and
examine the same at his book biniery.
