' vfoWf WAY r .-iwVVifSHeSv
JThis merchant is using an old-fashioned cash
drawer. As a result, he does not know how much
"money he should have at tho end of the day's bus
iness; how many items his clerks forgot to charge;
'whether money is missing because of carlessness
or temptation of employees.
He runs his storo by guesswork, depending onf
...memory for a record of his business. Each day
ho does unnecessary work, and worries about His
business after working hours, which injures his
.health and unfits him for the next day's liusinss.
This( merchant is using a National Cash Register.
He knows that all money received during tho day
is in tho drawer at night, and that he has a print
ed record of each transaction. Ho knows that
nothing has been lost through temptation or care
lessness. Ho can tell which clerk sells the most
goods.
When he locks his store at night, he loaves all bus
iness cares behind. Forgotten charges, disputes
with customers and loss of trade don't worry him.
His mind is free to think about how to get more
business.
Call at our salesroom, 404 South 15th St. when in Omaha next week.
