Safeguard Of Great Business.

Through the s~tockkeeper the management
OF a business gets first q clear cut Information
upon the necessities OF the buying depart
1nent Of his house; when the inventory at
the end OF the month. or quarter, or twelve
months. has been made he Is In n position
to discover "leakages" through the care
~lessness or dishonesty OF employees; and every
day that the stotk records are balanced he
can find u certain sense OF security against
pilferings, costly mistakes, and against the
still greater possibility OF running out OF a
certain stock OF which there may be a heavy
run before the stock might be replenished.
In q big department store. as an example,
an inventory is taken once a month. The
stockkGepers' records arc the Inventories
that are taken every day. In a house doing
q business of 81. 900. 900 q month there may be
fifty stockkeepers, overlooked by a head
stocltkeeper. who stands responsible for the
work of each Individual under HIM. This
individual stockkeeper Is u man of accounts
rather than n man Of knowledge of materials.
Yards. bolts. boxes, crates. barrels, pounds.
ounces, tons--these are his lines. Inventory
and selling prices of these things are known
to him and regarded. He charges the de-
partment to which yards. pounds. and gall
Ions OF stuffs are sent; he audits the cash
and credit tickets that come from the de-
partments. showing the sales OF the stuffs
sent to the departments: then. knowing what
he has In his storeroom. knowing what the
sales department has lone with some OF
the materials sent to 1t, and fgur.- up the
amount of the materials which is still with
the sales department, he can show the man
ager next morning just how much material
in any certain line is in tho house still SUBJ
ject TO the demands Of trade.

Keep Records from Sales Tickets.

How he does this Is an exemplifcation of
what automatic accounting by the most ma
chinelike methods may mean to the inter-
head of the bookkeeping department
of the house.
In the department store the methods OF
reaching this daily substitute for the inven-
tory of stock is through the sales tickets made
in duplicate by the sales clerk. one ticket OF
which goes to the purchaser and the other 10
the cashier. and from the cashier to the
stockkeeper early the following morning.
These tickets. in the printed forms at the
top, show at once the stock department from
which the goods sold originated. These as
sembled cash and credit sales slips on the
morning following a days sales are turned
over to persons who have only to assert than
according to the departments affected. One
stockkeeper may have n dozen lines of wares
listed on his book. and from the sales of each
OF these lines he gets the tickets. reducing
the sales price to the inventory cost, andtak-
ing the sum from the cost total of the day be-
fore. In this manner his material still in
stock and the balance remaining unsold at
the retail counters represent the houses

necessary %rontines of all business car
ries with 1t at the same time such an
atmosphere OF repellent insignihcance
to the ambitious individual that most
~stockkeepers are men and women who can't
do anything else for the employing house.
Graphically, the ~stockkeeper becomes an
everyday integer In a system that may show
a condition OF business almost any day with
out the aid of the inventory man. But while
he does this work for every working day in
the year, his Is routine, where the work Of
the inventory man is expert service, per-

Just as no business can be conducted with
out the double entry system Of keeping
books. SO no business of material size and
complications is reduced to Intelligent sys-

Bookkeeping is the essence in principle of
double entry. and reading only the records
