ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS

Making Progress.

Philadelphia Pa. May 15.-Con-

In all particulars. the Associated Ad-

will meet in annual convention here.
June rs to 80, have Joined with other
important agencies In a plan to de-
wise and install cost accounting sys-
TENS IN the more important lines of

committee, appointed some time ago,
will show that systems are being pre-
pared In five important lines of bust
ness, and that the advertising mans
committee has the co,opera ton of the
Federal Trade Commission, Harva rd
University. and others.
No Need of Accounting Systems,
In recent years, the advertising club
movement has been broadened in
many respects and one of the thtnss
that has occupied the especial atten-
ton Of the advertising men in the la st
year has been the alarming increase
In the business death rate of this
country. There are now about $1,000
business failures a year. and one of
the chief causes of failure, investiza-
ton has shown. Is that business men
do not have such accounting systems
as will show them what is the matter
with their business They are not
able. without a proper accounting sys-
tenn, to diagnose the cause OF their
business ills
In addition to the attention the
subject will receive through the re-
port Of the special committee, Edward
n. Hurley. vice-chairman Of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, who has given
the subject of the business death rate
much thought, will tell of some of
the plans of the commission in 1t eff
fort to provide accounting systems.
