BOOKKEEPER
FOR BANK Of LESLIE

A real mechanical marvel is the new

been installed at the Bank of Leslie
The machine is the Burroughs Adding
Subtracting Model and will greatly
simplify the work of keeping the
banks books.
operation to fully appreciate what a
wonderful thing it is. 1t automatically
prints dates, subtracts checks, adds
deposits and computes new balances,
all in one movement of the carriage
across the page, and with speed that
seems incredible. That is to say, the
machine not only posts figures to the
ledger page, but computes balances
automatically as the posting is done.
ErrOr-PrOOf "Steel Brains"
And this automatic bookkeeper can't
make mistake His steel brains" are
mathematically error-proof. Depress-
ing the keys puts figures into" the
Burroughs. Touching a bar adds or
subtracts the figures and prints them
in even rows. And no matter how fast
o. how long you feed figures into it,
the machine never gets tired, never
lets errors creep in through "brain
fag." 1t has just as lively an appetite
for large numbers as for small. AS a
depositor might deposit $10,000,000 to-
morrow, but the machine would not
have to exert itself to enter the amount,
add your old balance, subtract your
checks and automatically compute the
new balance of your account. The only
time it balks is when you have an
overdraft Then it warns the operator
by the simple expedient of refusing %
figure any more without the subtract"
lever is held down, that your account is
overdrawn, and thereupon proceeds to
print a red "OD" signal opposite the
amount you need to get square with
the bank.
Heretofore, in posting to the ledger it
was necessary for a list of checks ana
deposits to be entered by hand in order
for the bank to properly debit and
credit each customers account. The
bookkeepers account. The bookkeeper
had to add each list of checks mentally,
also had to add all deposits and COM
bine their total with the customers old
balance. When that was done the to-
tai of all checks had to be deducted
from the sum of old balance and de-
posts to determine the new balance. |
With the machine all this is accom- |
rlished automatically and without any
mental calculation whatever. The |
operator has only to depress the
proper keys and touch the operating
bar.
