of its originality and evident mreit.
It reads as follows:
"To the Officers and Directors of
the First State Bank, Gentlemen: I
desire to present herewith my appli
cation for employment as bookkeep
er in your institution. I am of ma
ture age and of steady habits. I do
not drink, smoke, chew or use pro
fane language and I am not given to
running around nights. My associ
ates are always of the highest char
acter and I have the best education
that money can buy. I am steady,
unencumbered and want only per
manent position. I was never known
to make an error and if anything
goes wrong with me you need not
pay me a cent. Here is my proposi
tion: Buy me outright for less mon
ey than it takes to pay an ordinary
bookkeeper's yearly salary and I'll
get to work at once in your account
ing department and remain there a
lifetime without further remunera
tion. Clerks may come and clerks
may go but I'll keep on forever.

keen Interest.
Bank Bookkeeping Machine was then
explained In detail. The attachment
of a connection sent an electric cur
reiU whirring through the "veins"
of the machine and it became alive.
It demonstrated its ability to post
ledgers and make out depositors'
statements with equal facility. It
showed how it lists and subtracts
checks, lists and adds deposits, and
computes the new balance automat
ically and in practically one opera
tion.
The machine is known as the Bur
roughs Adding-Subtracting Ledger
Posting and Statement Machine and
it is certainly a wonderful bookkeep
er. It prints dates .adds deposits,
subtracts checks and does all the
work ordinarily done by hand in
much less time, with a great deal
more accuracy and neatness. It is
impossible for the machine to make u
mistake if the operator gives t the
correct figures.-
In addition to posting the ledgers,
making out depositors' statements,
in short, keeping the bank's books,
the machine can be set simply for
use as an adding or subtracting ma
chine. The bank management in
vites the public to call and see the
new Burroughs in operation.
