BANK INSTALLS
NEW
The First National bank has Just
added a remarkable machine to Ita
equipment a machine that posts
ledgers mil makes out customers
statements people who are not ac
quainted with the inside workings
of a bonk will not fully realUe the
great advantages of machine work
oer hand posting to the ledger. The
big advantages of using the machine
Is the saving In time and In the Im
provement In the appearance and
legibility of the ledger shaat.
Heretofore the clerks when post
ing to the ledger had to first make a
list of checks and then a list of de
posits, on each account add each list
separately and then subtract to get
I a balance This Is all accomplished
I In one operation by the new machine.
One of the remarkable features of
'.the machine Is that It automatically
(detects and marks overdraft with
I an ' D " sian. WbM less the
lever Is in the "subtract" position.
Tha BfaahlBI .-utomatlcally udds
the dep.i- a to the old balance and
subtracts the checks as they are llst-
