entry of sales and other information for
each service, direct from the Service Slips.
At the end of each month sales are totalled
on the Customer's Record Sheet, multiplied
by the rate of commission, the amount due
is marked on the sheet, and the month's
record is ruled off as "closed."
A Cross-Index Filing System is desirabl e.
One system lists all locations alphabetic-
ally; the other, geographically. While the
doubl e system is not essential for the
smaller operations, service calls on the tele-
phone fr equently provide only an address
and with a larger operation the geograph-
ical file will provide a prompt check on the
owner's nam e. In any event a supplementary
file should be kept, listing machin e num-
bers so that th e location of any machine
can be found at once. At th e Rowe Co. this
is accomplished by filing th e Customer's
Record Sheet according to machine number.
The Service Slip is a record of sales filled
out by th e serviceman at each location, re-
cording the number of packs sold, the
amo unt of money collected from th e ma-
chine, any slugs, any shortages, any other
informa tion.
The Daily Inventory Sheet is used by
each servicema n to balance each day's busi-
ness. On it is listed all merchandise taken
out at the start of the day plus any cigar-
ettes received during th e day ei ther by
emptying machines or by purchasing cig-
arettes. Against this figure is balanced mer-
chand ise returned pl us th e cash deposited.
A Perpetual Stock Inventory is kept in
duplicate - one copy in the office, one in
th e stock room. Both must tally. This pro-
vides a daily inventory and minimizes losses.
Total losses from all causes in his business
generally do not average more than one-half
of one per cent, Greene indicated.
A Check and a Voucher, either of which
can be used to pay the commission due
customers at the end of the month, are the
final needed form s. Where the Addresso-
graph is used the check and th e voucher
can be made out with the stencil, and in
big operations like that of th e Rowe Co.
even the signa ture on th e check can be
done with th e Addressograph.
Whil e not a form, the use of th e Rowe
Penny Insertin g Machine fo large opera-
tions was deemed important. This device
puts pennies in packages at th e rate of
more than 900 packs per hour.
Copies of the forms used and discussed
may be obtained without charge from Rowe
Manufacturing Co., Bell eville, N. J.

"I think, George," said Mrs. Binks to her

have dinner with us on Sunday."
"Why?" asked the husband.
"Well, the butcher left their meat here
by mistake, and it seems only fair."
