SMOKEliESS SHEIibS (salmon color) are the same as the Trap Shell except that they are not metal reinforced, being intended for moderate: charges ooJy of nitro-powders, which should not exceed drams (measure) for 12 gauge, or drams for lu-gauge. “ IWitro OlTxto.” NITRO CJLUB SHLEIiliR are designed to meet the demand for a moderate priced shell adapted to nitro-powders. Quality is the same as our celebrated “ New Club ” shells, but they have special strong primers (not sold except in these shells) and a new form of base, thereby giving qaica ignition and Strong Combustion to moderate charges of nitro* powder. “M'ew Olaxto.” NEW CLCB SHEJLliS are designed for use with black powders.

Improved Book-keeping and Business Manual, Revised and Enlarged Edition. BY J. H. GOODWIN. Forty'first Thousand. 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 permitted to inspect the hooks 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 vcUudble points. FMW OF TJELF IMFOJRTAKT MATTERS CONSIDERED ARE AS FOLLOWS: ADVAISTCED DOUSIiE ENTRY. Describing the peculiarities of the most advanced systems 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. PlERPETUALi PROOF. A new method of proving each and every posting, as well as the balance of every account in the hedger—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 REQUIREO. Many hundreds of purchasers who had no previous knowledge of bookkeeping have 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 1 HOUSES.
