Galvanized Iron Roofing Is especially adapted for use on Foundries and other shops where acid fumes usually cause a rapid decay of ordinary iron. It costs a little more than painted roofing, but is well worth the difference, as it requires no paint and will wear a lifetime.

C3-OOID WI25T^S Improved Book-keeping and Business Manual, Revised and Enlarged Edition. BY J. H. GOODWIN. Forty-first Thousand. ^ ___ 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 permitted 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 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 per cent. bey
