PARKS 



Price, Worn Out, Present Inventory, Article, Price, Amount, Location. In 

 order to keep track of the tools and equipment issued from the storehouse 

 during the season, the form shown in Figure 4 is used. One copy of this is 

 transmitted with the tools and equipment to the foreman on the job, and 

 two are kept by the storekeeper for filing in two different manners. 



Merchandise and supplies are best kept track of through the operation 

 of a supply storehouse and the keeping of perpetual inventory records. The 

 office records usually consist of a book record of purchases, issues, prices and 

 balances similar to Figure 5. 



When issues are made from stock, various copies of a form similar to 

 Figure 6 are made out, one going to the office, enabling the office to maintain 

 the perpetual inventory record above outlined. 



A perpetual inventory record may be kept in various ways, even by 

 tabulating and bookkeeping machines, but the principle is still the same 

 as the one here outlined.
