^^^^=5^^^= THE FARMERS' ACCOUNTING SOCIETY ^ 



Accounting to make Your Farming Pay 

 Systems to show what Pays on the Farm 



THE FARMERS' ACCOUNTING SOCIETY for Farmers, Fruit Growers and Stock Raisers was 

 organized to meet tiie demand on part of the progressive and ambitious farmer for installing upon 

 the farm and ranch the same Up-to-date Business Methods and Accounting Systems as are today 

 being used by all money making and modern manufacturing and commercial enterprizes. Methods of 

 Cost Accounting, Modernized Bookkeeping and improved Accounting Systems have within the last ten 

 years shown themselves to be so advantageous and profitable that the big money making concerns of 

 today find them an absolute necessity. The manufacturer positively could not do without them, no 

 more can the farm be run at its best without these systems. Manufacturing Enterprizes and Mercantile 

 Establishments have spent thousands of dollars to educate Cost Accountants and to install thorough 

 accounting methods. WHY? BECAUSE IT PAYS. 



Why not the Farmer take Advantage 



of the SAME SYSTEMS AND DERIVE THE SAME BENEFITS FROM 

 LEADING BUSINESS MEN AND EDUCATED COST ACCOUNTANTS 



FARMING itself is just as much a business as is the manufacturing of farm implements for farm purposes. Success in 

 farming does not depend upon hard work alone. Success in farming depends, also, upon good common sense, up-to- 

 date business methods. The implement manufacturer produces drags, drills, plows, cultivators, etc. The farmer pro- 

 duces wheat, oats, butter, eggs, cattle, hogs, cotton, tobacco, etc. By means of improved accounting and cost systems 

 the Implement Manufacturer knows, to a cen, the cost of each article he sells. Why Shouldn't the Farmer be in possession 

 of the same Information in regard to the Cost of his Product? Wouldn't you like to know exactly how much money you lost or 

 made last year on your hay, your cattle, your corn, your fruit and every other article you produced? Wouldn't you like to 

 stop raising those things upon which you are making little, if any, profit and put in your time upon those products which this 

 Society's System of Books and Cost Accounting shows have paid well? Membersiiip in The Farmers' Accounting Society 

 will put you in possession of all this information. The Farmers' Accounting Society is an organization for the purpose of 

 introducing and installing upon the Farm and the Ranch the same Modern, Improved, Business and Cast Accounting 

 Methods used by all Successful Manufacturing and Mercantile Institutions of today.

 necessary information for furnishing, opening up and start- 

 ing the books before they are sent. Together with the books 

 and accounting system will be mailed personal and explicit 

 instructions as to how to keep them. At the close of the year 

 each and every member will be instructed as to how to close 

 his books and to know exactly upon what and how and where 

 he made or lost his money. Each member will be furnished 

 with a course of instruction in the latest improved and most 

 thorough, up-to-date business methods and cost accounting
