open bitches ranging In depth from
two to four feet along these streets.

gotten out without INJURY later. II
seems that along the streets where

the earth has been undermined. but

a heavy weight is placed upon it
when the top crust gives away. This
is considerable menace to

the stock as shown on the stock rec
ord.
His new bookkeeping system de-
partmentizes his store in such a way
that III any particular line of goods
was short he could at once trace
the shortage to the clerk who was in
charge of that department.
A druggist in little Pennsylvania
town who had never taken an inven-
tory in the ten years he had been
in business, got pinched for money
and decided TO check up his stock in
the hope of raising money by a clean
up sale.
He found $4,000 worth more
goods on his shelves than he thought
he had.
He thought he was carrying about
$4,000 worth of stock. In reality,
he was carrying $25,O00 worth. He
had kept no records that. enabled
him to know how much he had pur-
chased; how much goods he had sold
or the amount of profits he had
made.
If his store had burned out before
taking his inventory he would have
been satisfied with $4,000 from the
insurance companies He would not
have known that he was figuring
himself out of $4,000.
After he took his inventory he
was so astonished at what he found
that he decided to put in a system
which would enable him to know
exactly where he stood all the time.
With an accurate system he was
soon able to reduce the amount of
stock he carried and to make a great
deal more money.
The amount of capital released by
