how many dollars you lose by careless 

 booking of orders? How many orders 

 are marked paid instead of charged; 

 how many orders to be charged are 

 filled but forgotten to be booked? 



How about your freight bills? Are 

 the charges of the express company 

 always according to schedule? Is it 

 not possible to reduce your incoming 

 freight account? Was the result of 

 your advertising equal to the expense? 

 If not why not? Many an item that 

 can be cited of which it is well to 

 think now that we have plenty of 

 time for thinking. 



Now is the time of the year when 

 profits dwindle so low that they are 

 in many cases not sufficient to pay 

 the expenses and we are thankful to 

 fall back on our reserve. Following 

 the above indicated preparations will 

 find us in a much better financial con- 

 dition to meet the same dull season 

 one vear hence.
