ADDING MACHINE
IS ALMOST HUMAN
LATEST DEVICE INSTALLED AT
MERCHANTS BANK.
Several New Features Over These
Labor Saving DGViCes-InnoCent
Affair, However, Cost S475-It
is the Burroughs Latest and a
Daisy.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

There are adding machines and
adding machines. But the best that
has ever come before the attention of
The Leader man, is one just pur-
chased for use in the Merchants Bank.
1t is the latest mechanical device from
the Burroughs Adding Machine COM
pany of Detroit, Mich. concern that
is continually striving to keep
abreast OF the times and improve
their machine as last as ingenuity
can devise ways and means. The ma
chine just installed here is the very
latest and comes as near as being
human as mechanism can make it,
In fact the work is much more
quicker and accurate than the aver
age human being could work. The
new machine is complicated type,
is operated by electric power, thus
doing away with the old hand lever.
While 1T is nevertheless simple in
manner of operating, SO much in fact,
that child with ordinary intelli
gence could operate it with a few
instructions. 1t is rather expensive
affair, the price being $475.00, but
the observations of the Leader rep
resentatlve yesterday, he will
readily say that it is we'll worth
the price. There are many features
about this new type of machine that
make it a decided improvement over
the old patterns. One is the elimin-
ating feature, or, in other words, if
an error is made in an item, these
figures may be corrected and the
item with the error eliminated from
the total of a column. 1t is also pos
slb!e with this new labor saving de-
vice to date the work. Where the
quantity of items are gwen, the
machine also gives the total of the
quantity. This is feature that Is
particularly advantageous in mer-
camille business. On the machine is
separate key for sub-total figures,
which is another decided improve
ment. There is another key for what
is termed the split device for dating
the work and listing the quantities.
Still another excellent features Is a
small mechanical device, cyclometer
like, for totalling checks, so that when
the machine is used for that work
when the operator is through he
knows at glance just how many
checks have been cancelled. On the
rear of the machine is carriage
similar to typewriting machine
enabling adding several columns of
figures On large piece of paper.
Another beauty of the new machine
is that it will enable doing mani
fold work.

Immedi ate relief comes to the

atively few in number, as have to be
transferred from one to another IN

to carry the rate of 40 cents. The
latter part of the adjustment will pro-

The commission will not suspend

the agreement reached seemed to be
satisfactory to the railroads and repre-

order will shortly be issued by the
commission, formally declaring this
arrangement.
This arrangement will not be en-

Perhaps you are suffering in silence;
