will be required in taking the monthly inventories, and less room 

 will be required for holding the supplies. 



1. Receiving Goods from Supply Storage Room. The larger 

 creameries often have a special stock clerk who receives the 

 supplies from the receiving department, and places them in the 

 supply room. The various departments receive their supplies 

 from this stock clerk on written orders signed by the foreman of 

 the department. 



Form XII may be considered as a convenient blank for such 

 orders.

These blanks may be put up in pads about 4 inches by 5 

 inches in size. They may or may not be written in duplicate. 



2. Monthly Inventory Record of Supplies. The monthly 

 inventory record of supplies on hand is of value: First, for 

 determining the amount of supplies used during the month; 

 second, as a guide for placing orders for supplies; third, as a 

 check record on waste in supplies, and fourth, as a record in 

 case of fire loss. 



Form 'XIII represents an inventory blank which may be 

 made to cover the entire year. This blank is self-explanatory. 

 The purchases are entered from the purchase journal. The 

 amount used during the month is equal to the amount on hand 

 on the morning of the first day of the month, plus purchases 

 made during the month, less amount on hand on the morning of 

 the first day of the following month.
