A Handbook for the use of Manufacturers, Directors, Auditors, Engineers, Managers, Secre~- taries, Accountants, Cashiers, Estimate Clerks, Prime Cost Clerks, Bookkeepers, Draftsmen, Students, Pupils, &c. By J. SLATER LEWIS. Price Twelve Dollars. FROM THE PREFACE. The system of accounts presented in this book is the result of many years’ close observation and practical experience, and is what may be termed an interlocking system, under which each and every account in a factory is brought into line monthly, and a general balance of the whole effected. It will be seen from an inspection of the diagrams a and B that the system is not only capable of diagrammatic proof, and may, therefore, be relied upon as being complete, but that it may be expanded or contracted as circum- stances may require.
