C3-003D WIIjT Improved Book-keeping and Business Manuai, Revised and Enlarged Edition. BY J. H. GOODWIN. Forty-first Thousand, w _ w The author of this book has sought among bookkeepers of all degrees of ability and business men in various kinds of business for points which would be likely to prove of value either to a bookkeeper or to a business man. In these interviews he has been permiited^to inspect the books of some of the largest business houses of the country, and to learn the methods employed by them. The work therefore em¬ bodies not only the results of his own experience, but that of at least a hundred other bookkeepers of the highest standing in the profession, from whom there have been received and are here given a great variety of valuable points, A FEW OF THE IMFORTANT MATTERS CONSIDERED ARE AS FOLLOWS: ADVANCED DOUBLE ENTRY. Describing the peculiarities of the most advanced systenis of the present day, and contrasting them with those of antiquated systems. In this article it is shown how a set of books may be kept by Double Entry with an increase in labor of only three percent, beyond that required for the keeping of them by Single Entry. The principles of Single Entry are described, and the ob¬ jections to that method of keeping books set forth. Complete directions are given for the changing of a set of books from Single Entry to the most advanced system of Double Entry. PERPETUAL PROOF. A new method of proving each and every posting, as well as the balance of every account in the Ledger—requiring but little, if any, additional labor, and effecting a saving of fifty per cent, in the expense of both Salaries and Ledgers. NO TEACHER REQUIRED. Many hundreds of purchasers who had no previous knowledge of bookkeeping hive secured excellent situations through the knowledge derived from a study of this work. STOCK COMPANIES. Explaining at length how the books for such are opened and closed ; also describing in detail many other pecularities appertaining especially to this class of business concerns. ‘‘ A I ’’ HOUSES. This article was written principally, from points given to the author by nineteen of the largest houses in New York City. TRIAL BALANCES. A recently discovered method of detecting errors in Trial Balances, also a new method of detecting errors in posting. BUSINESS MEN. This work contains a large num¬ ber of valuable hints upon subjects of special interest to all business men. Printed in two colors, on an excellent quality of paper, and is substantially bound in dark, rich cloth.
