to the factory at Pontiac. Barnes is
an old Atlanta automobile man.
American automobile makers built 252.-
500 cars of all sorts from July /, 1911, to
July /. 1912, while the registrations have
jumped to the amazing total Of S5s9SS.
Ceylon must be exceptionally hard on
automobiles for some reason or other, Ac-
cording to a report from the United States
consul in Colombo there is a good market
there for American cars that can carry
out catalogue promises. The great com
plant one hears against American motor
cars is that they are lightly and care
lessly built and that they do not stand
up.

out at Piedmont park there is
number of pretty terraces, with long
stone steps leading from one elevation
to another, and at the side of these
steps are grass plots at an angle of
about 35 degrees.

some friends, and naturally he told of
the good qualities of his product. One
friend remarked in a joking manner:
Frank, drive your car up that hill and

Summer-the season when the motor
tourist has always been at the height
of his glory-has given way in favor of
autumn, and the eXhilarating weather Of

weeks. 1t is confidently predicted that
the months Of September and October
will break all previous record in this re-

Occasionally hub caps are lost through
carelessness in replacing these members
after lubricant has been applied. While
they should be set up snugly, undue force
should not be used, as the threads Of
the brass member may become stripped.
An excellent plan is to screw the caps
up tightly, then tap the wrench a light
blow with the hammer Sometimes too
much lubricant is used, and when tight
eniug up the cap the greast gives one
the impression that the cap is snug.

As shown by stock ledger and GER
tificate stubs there was actually issued
S11 1880 Of which amount $6,25S.l2
was paid in cash and merchandise
(this includes interest on some of the
items) and $41500 in services exclu-
sive of the item nbove-of S365.00. We
have no records covering transactions
in preferred stock and can refer to
that merely by stating that Mr..
Browns books indicate S525.00 as be-
ing issued. These matters should all
have appeared in the stock ledger but
do not. The items in that book show
practically all Of stock issued as being
paid in cash, when upon the face of
things it is plain such was not the
case. Attached to this report is a
tabulation of stock issued, as shown
by Certificate Book, and the character
of payments made as near as we have
been able to determine. The follow
ing is summary of expenses incur

operation of the business:

Gated. The same date in the chattels
account in the ledger that account is
credited with $4,000 from F. Wride
and loss $1,000, balancing the ac-
count. There is nothing in the ledger
indicating that F. Wride owed $4,000,
but in Bills Receivable Book, page 0,
occurs this item:
4-1s-11.. 127--F. Wride, Chattels IL
months time, $4,000
We do not say this transaction had
anything to do with the horse pur-
chased by the company, as Wride's
note was given two months before the
purchase occurred but, the books
should show what thing of value
given by the company was paid by
this note.
Customarily in most bookkeeping
systems the day book is book of
original entry, but, in Mr.. Browns
system 1t was not. He kept day
book and number of transactions
were carried on during the month of
June, 1911, but there are no entries
in day book for that month, although,
the records of May, and July are
there.
Under the conditions as outlined
above it should be plain that we are
unable to furnish you with definite
report.

ledger were not properly extended

ing and Taxes which can be found in
the ledgers by themselves.
Leaving all technical considerations
aside and looking at the matter in
fair way it is plain that no considera-
BILE loss occurred in the actual. opera
ton of the store or mill. Business
was conducted on very narrow mar
gin and substantial profits could not
be expected as high prices were paid
for everything the company bought.
The chief mistake was made by the
Directors not insisting on the employ
ment of competent bookkeeper from
the beginning, who would have been
able to render monthly report upon
the actual condition of the business.
Where so many mistakes occurred in
the records that were kept plenty Of
mistakes must have happened in
transactions not kept.
The excessive cost of promotion was
cut out of all proportion to the neces-
sites of the business and the meth
DDS adopted extravagant and unwise.

versed in proper business methods
