How a Machine Does Our
Bookkeeping

A short time ago we installed a re-
markable machine in our Accounting
Department. machine which adds
and subtracts, tells the date, keeps
our hooks and gets out monthly state
ments. 1t does all this work much
faster than any bookkeeper could, and
never been known to make a mistake.
The installation of this Burroughs
Bookkeeping Machine means that u
accounts will be handled just as rapid
ly and accurately as those of largest
and most up-to-date banks in country.
