ARITHMETIC MADE EASY. 



ROPP'S EASY CALCULATOR 



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 simple and prac- 

 tical that the most illiterate in figures can instantaneously become 

 his own accountant. It enables thousands to accomplish in a 

 minute what they could not learn to calculate in many months. 



The first part containing an entirely new system of Tables, 

 which shows at a glance the exact values of all kinds of Grain, 

 Stock, Hay, Coal, Lumber, Merchandise, etc., from one pound 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 10 per 

 cent. ; correst 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 enables any one familiar 

 with the fundamental rules to become a lightning calculator; and 

 by which over two-thirds of the figures and labor required by the 

 ordinary methods, and fractions with their intricacies, are en- 

 tire.ly avoided. 



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

 elegantly bound in pocket-book shape and is accompanied by a 

 Silicate Slate, Memorandum and Pocket for paper. It is by far 

 the most complete, comprehensive and convenient pocket manual 

 ever published.
