A Great National
Public Utility
That concerns all merchants
and all people
THE original Cash Register rang a bell, indicated and
recorded the amount of the purchase. It benefited the
merchant only.
In a third of a century this old model has developed into
a Cash Register that directly benefits every man, woman
and child who spends money in a store.
This new Cash Register equally concerns every mer
chant and clerk, every banker and wholesaler in this land.
It furnishes every customer with a receipt or sales slip.
It prints on this the amount paid or charged.
On this is also printed the date of the sale and who
made it.
It forces a duplicate, printed record for the merchant.
It prevents disputes over charges and bills paid.
It saves shoppers' time.
It gives the merchant all his profits. It gives him more
money for his family.
It promotes more and quicker sales.
It protects each clerk against making errors and
against the mistakes of others.
It rewards the diligent clerk by telling his employer
which one makes the largest number of sales and which
one gets the greatest amount of business.
It assures the banker additional security for the money
he loans the merchant.
It gives the wholesaler additional assurance that the
merchant will have money to pay his bills.
It furnishes the banker and the wholesaler mechanical
evidence that the merchant's statement of his business is
correct.
It is a business necessity.
