Almost Mechanical Perfection.

This is the age of perfection in the mechanical world and every pass ing day brings to light inventions that are steadily proving the asser- tion, made some years ago, that in time machinery would be perfected that would do any and all work that could be done by man.
 The latest addition in Springdale, is the installation at the First Ma tional Bank last week. O. the Bur rough Adding Machine Company.s ad- ding and subtracting machine. The First National Bank, is the first bank in Washington county, to purchase one of these new models. and latter part Of last week, NJ. W. Johnson, of Fort Smith, representative of the Burrough Company was here install ing the machine, and instructinp the employees of the bank in it's proper use.
 Words to properly describe the
 
 had, other than that it does the work of two book-keepers, does the work accurately, neatly and with dis patch, and does the same work as could be done with pen and ink The first machine of this kind in this section was installed in the First National Bank at Berryville, but now the machine is used in several of the banks of this section.
 The machine keeps the books of the bank Loose leaf books are used and each depositor has a separate sheet. When a check comes in the machine picks up the former bal ance and deducts the amount of the check, and sets out the date of the transaction, with the proper bal ance. If a deposit slip comes in for a customer the machine adds this de posit to the former balance. and strikes the new balance with the proper date. If there is more than
  time adds the amounts of the cheeks and sabtraets the sum from the form CT balance. If the amount of the cheeks is larger than the amount oi the deposits the machine locks, the operator then shifts the carriage over to the overdraft column, and tht machine then places the amount of tn overdraft therein. The machine is st constructed as to print the proper date on each transaction After tht sheet has been removed from thu machine it is placed in the loose leaf ledger, and the operation is com plete. The book-keeper never touch es the ledger with pen and ink, th' machine doing all the work.
