 on cheap paper and be used but once. Unfortunately ^ they are often 

 printed on heavy paper board and used again and again, till they become

 form of a loose-leaved book that the driver carries with him and that is 

 used to record the deliveries of milk, cream, etc., the bottles returned 

 and the cash receipts. Daily on his return from the trip the driver casts 

 up the tally sheet and makes returns to the main office which renders 

 weekly or monthly statements to the customers either by mail or more 

 usually by the driver who also makes collections. In the case of whole- 

 sale customers a tally sheet is usually posted at the place of business
