American National Bank Has
Modern Accounting Machine

The American National bank Of this
city has just installed new arrange
nlent for ledger accounting. Primarily
Il CONSISTS of the latest style Bur
yUaghs adding machine with bookkeep
ing attachment. There Is also an cleo
nric motor attached to facilitate the
SEPARATION of the machine.
The Times. Record man was given a
demonstration by Cashier Aamoth
El,o claims to be an expert demonstra'
Tor. His main argument was that
while liars will figure, figures won't
lie, and that was one of the principal
reasons for their adopting the machine
that gives only the figures.
The bookkeeping attachment resem'
BIes an ordinary typewriter carriage
into which the loose leaves Of the led
ger are inserted. These leaves are
suled into columns and designated &C
eording to the requirements of the in.
Stitution. There is a tabulating fea'
ture which brings the carriage and
ledger sheet to any column desired by
nee OF respective keys. The manner in
which this superhuman machine can
gecgrd accounts can be appreciated
and fully understood only after a DEM
cnstration. Girls usually give the best
demonstrations and service on these
machines, and thousands of the large
Business concerns of the country are
ROW using them.
One of the fine points that showed
the intelligence of the machine was
the oyerdraft feature. When it came
TO this column it simply baked and
refused to be budged for certain
length of time. After that time it can
BE pried by so that the O. D. column
can be used. However, sufficient time
has elapsed to sign mortgage or
Sriug in a wheelbarrow load of gaso-
line which is equivalent to money.
The initial cost of this innovation
including the electric motor, is close
to $1,000. The American National
bank people are out to acquire state
ment footings of over a million dollars
IL the near future, and this feature Of
Facilitating business is one of the
things that will be used to accomplish
this progressive object.
