Five American
business inventions
'All the appliances of modern business methodsthe type
writer, telephone, dictaphone, card index, the filing case
are of American origin." (The Saturday "Evening Post.)
The card index system referred to was originated and im
proved by Library Bureau. So was the filing case.
Library Bureau also originated vertical filing. It originated
counter-night units. It originated the L. B. Automatic index.
Library Bureau is not only the world's largest manufac
turer of card record and filing equipment but the originator
of most of the standard filing systems of today.
For 43 years Library Bureau has been rubbing elbows
with practical filing problems. This experience is cumu
lative. It is a most dependable guide in the present-day
transition from war to peace. It is yours for the asking.
The small order receives just as careful attention as one
mounting into thousands.
