is exemplified by the establishment of
Messrs Howard & Smith at Montebello.
Their nurseries are, well worthy of

w. r. BLACKMAN,
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

Such are the exact requirements in the
business methods of the present day
that there is scarcely department of
commerce or official service that does
not REQUIRE the employment of the pro-
fessional public accountant. Especially
are his services required in adjusting
hooks strengthening out accounts, cor
recting errors and detecting frauds or
falsifications of any kind, and In keeping
the books of companies and firms in
proper order. All these works are per
formed by Mr.. w. r. Blackman, the we'll
known certified public accountant whose
office Is at No 206 Henne building, 122
West Third street. Mr.. Blackman has
been a resident of Los Angeles for twen-
ty-three years and for most of this long
period of time has assiduously followed
his profession. Mr., Blackman came orig
inaliy from London, England, where he
received a good education and thor
ough business training and is In every
sense highly qualified both by education
and experience for the painstaking and
arduous work which he makes of so
much benefit to the business world. Such
are the results of such penetrating work
as only the professional accountant can
perform that it has become in many
Views of the business situation an indIs-
pensable necessity, while it is equally
Imperative that such service shall be abb
solutely accurate. This is the essential
merit which business people and officials
testify in Mr.. Blackman's behalf. and his
work therefore Is very much in requisi-
ton.
