It eliminates losses and mistakes, prevents forgotten charges, and insures a Hccord of money received on account and paid out. Iti enables good employees to prove their effi ciency. It makes careless employees careful. Customers are protected aerainst mistakes in thmr accounts. The receipt in the parcel, printed by rue register, proves tne amount paid.

COOS BAY TIMES JOB DEPARTMENT A Little Campaign of Want Aevertising in The Coos Bay Times Will Sell Your Useful "Second HancP Things to People who Need Them. There's a notion, pertaining to most articles of use, that as soon as they become "second hand" they, in some my sterious way, lose at least one half of their market value. And one hour's use makes most things such as vehicles, ma chinery, articles of clothing, etc. "second hand" A campaign of want advertising will sell your little- used or your much used things to people who NEED THEM--and who will pay a FAIR price. rns!"BBaj--tr . --iW . . m Mvmmnintir
