Pen-and-ink"
Posting Here
A remarkable chapter from the experience
of the D. L. Ward Company, of Philadelphia
Early in 1915 the bookkeeping department of this large
wholesale paper and twine company reached the limit of
its working capacity.
Business had increased, and new customers and new
accounts had increased in proportion. But even with five
bookkeepers working overtime the old handicap of pen-and-ink
couldn't be overcome. Trial balances were hard
to get; and because trial balances were always late, state
ments were held up.
Burroughs Solves Many Accounting Problems
A Burtoughs Ledger Posting and Staternent Machine brought
relief to the D. L. Ward Company's bookkeeping department.
Pen-and-ink posting was replaced by Burroughs Direct-to-Ledger
Posting and the work is now handled with promptness, accuracy
and ease.
The ledger card is inserted in the carriage of the machine. The
operator depresses the keys and posts in rapid succession old
balance, folio, terms and debit or credit. The machine performs
the necessary calculations automatically, adding the debits or
subtracting the credits.
The balance is automatically computed and printed by the
machine in one operation, without possibility of error. Th
operator pays no attention to spacing, ciphers or punctuation.
Even the date is repeated automatically.
The cards are ofiset when placed in the tray. When the day's
debitor credit postings have bern completed the operator proceeds
to run off the old balances and the new balances on the accounts
that have changed that day. The machine automatically computes
and prints the difference, which is compared with the debit or
credit totals, predetermined from the posting mediums.
Thin provide a mechanical proof of posting, which is absolutely
dependable.
The method is the same whether a concern uses cards or loose
leaf ledgers.
