The machine was purchased from
the Burroughs Adding Machine Co.
of Detroit and is knowing as the
Burroughs adding-subtracting ma
chine. 1t is the result Of much time
and money spent by the Burroughs
97-man-power invention department
to find a machine that would sup
plant the unreliable human brain In
work that has to be absolutely cor
rect in every detail.
1t prints dates, adds old balances
and deposits, subtracts checks, com
putes and prints balances, and auto
matically detects overdrafts. All

vantages of machine work over hand
work in posting to the ledger. The
big advantages Of using the machine
is the saving in time and in the
improvement in the appearance and
legibility of the ledger sheet. The
big city banks in New York or
Chicago save at least fifty per cent
in time by the machine method and
the Abilene National will save at
least that much time. Then too,
there is no possibility of an error,
as the machine cannot make mis-
take.
Heretofore the clerks when post
ing to the ledger had to just make
a list of checks on each account,
then a list of deposits, add each list
separately and then subtract to get
a balance. This is all accomplished
in one operation by the new ma
chine.

say that the bond issue paid.
In the face of this, how can anyone
