Four oLthe largest tire companies
use the L. B. Automatic index
There is no secret about the reason.
They use the L. B. Automatic index because it is quick,
accurate and understandable. They use it because it is
the best system of filing and -filing ever devised. They
wouldn't have it around for ten minutes if it wasn't.
Any filing system that stands-up and delivers for four of
the largestiire companies in the world just has to be
good. Fey businesses have grown so rapidly. Few have
such a tremendous mass of detail.
The L. B. Automatic index has cheerfully carried the
load and come through witfiqut a puncture. .
It is quick as a flash and as accurate as mathematics.
It checks and double checks itself against errors. It removes
every excuse for making mistakes. Andydt it is simple!
Gome in and put it to the test yourself. The L. B. Auto
matic index is as adaptable to the needs of the man in the
small office as to the business that covers acres.
