ARITHMETIC MADE EASY. 



ROPP'S EASY CALCULATOR 



Is a new publication that must prove of incalculable benefit to 

 Farmers, Mechanics and Business men. It is so rapid and origi- 

 nal as to startle the most scholarly, and yet so szmple and prac- 

 tical that the most illiterate in figures can inxtantaneouKly 

 become his own accountant. It enables thousands to accom- 

 plish in a minute what they could not learv, to calculate in many 

 months. ^ , .r 1 1, 



The first part containing an entirely neic s^skto ot lamci, 

 which shows at a glaiice the exact values of all kinds of Gram, 

 Stock, Hay, Coal, Lumber, Merchandise, etc., from &m poumt 

 up to a car load, and for any price which the market is likely to 

 reach ; the Interest on any sum for any time at 6, 7, 8 and lU per 

 cen'. ; correct measurement of all kinds of Lumber, Saw Logs, 

 Cisterns, Tanks, Granaries, Bins, Wagon Beds, Corn Cribs ; a 

 Time, Wages, and many other valuable tables. 



The Second part is a practical Arithmetic, and embodies a 

 simple mathematical principle which enabl.s any one familiar 

 with the fundamental rules to become a lightning caUulator ; 

 and by which over two-thirds of the tigures and lal)or required 

 by the ordinary methods, and fractions with their intricacies, 

 are entirely avoided. ■ ,, j 



The work is nicely printed on fine tinted paper, is well and 

 elegantly bound in pockei-b<.ok shape and is accompanied by a
