^^^^==^^^= 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 the demand on part of the progressive and ambitious farmer for installing upon 

 tlie 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 ceni, the cost of each article he sells. Why Shouldn't the Farmer be in possession 

 of (he 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? Membership 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 Cost Accounting 

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



The Plan of the Society 



UPON request we will furnish parties interested an Infor- 

 mation Blank which is to be filled out and returned to 

 us. From this we learn the branch of farming you are en- 

 gaged in and the conditions under which your farm is oper- 

 ated, which enables us to intelligently outline and submit 

 prices on a system that will meet all requiiements. Prices 

 will include all books, forms, etc., the installation of our 

 methods, and membership to our society which entitles the 

 member to our services for a period of one year. Should 

 our methods be adopted we furnish complete and explicit 

 instructions as to how to keep them, and each member is at 

 liberty to write us at any and all times during the period of 

 membership regarding any questions that may arise pertain- 

 ing to his cost accounting and bookkeeping system. 



Our Motto — Thoroughness of Service. 



You may expect from us no statements we cannot make 

 good. Knowing your costs means increased profits as sure 

 as the sun rises and sets. 



Responsibility, Reliability and Guarantees 



WE invite fullest Investigation as to our trustworthyness 

 and reliability and are at all times willing and pleased 

 to furnish bank or commercial references. We guarantee 

 that the work at the Home Office is conducted by prominent, 

 practical Cost Accountants and Expert Bookkeepers who are 

 engaged not only in our work but who have devised and in- 

 stalled methods and systems for Cost Accounting in some 

 of the country's largest and most prominent manufacturing 

 concerns the names of which will be cheerfully given upon 

 request. We guarantee that the books and forms we furnish 

 are of a quality, description, binding, completeness and 

 value such as could not be duplicated in the open market for 

 a price as small as the membership fee to our Association. 

 And we guarantee that the same equipment and Cost Ac- 

 counting information furnished to the members of our Asso- 

 ciation has cost many manufacturing and mercantile con- 

 cerns (whose names we can furnish) from five hundred to 

 one thousand dollars to install.
