And the George Lawrence Company, Portland, Oregon, is a concern that gets what it wants.
In this case the desired result was obtained by substituting Burroughs Direct-to Ledger Posting
for pen-and-ink.
Pen-and-ink was usually ten days behind with the trial balance on the customers' ledger. This
held up the current month's posting, over-worked the bookkeepers, upset the whole office routine
and made the statements late.
The Burroughs Machine, which requires no experience to operate, immediately reduced posting
time and made it possible to keep all the work up-to-date all the time. Statements are now in
the mails promptly on the first of the month. .
It also enables one girl to do the work that would require two men pen-and-ink bookkeepers.
Burroughs Direct-to-Ledger Posting
is Always on Time
First because the posting is done direct to the loose leaf - Third because the" new balance on each account is auto- ,
ledger. . maticaUy computed and printed in one operation. I
Second because the addition and subtraction are automatically - Fourth because posting is proved every day.
performed. Fifth because all useless operations are eliminated.
