Net Profit This statement shows the fifteen hundred dollars a year added to profits by the Burroughs Bookkeeping Machine which the Parker-Gordon Cigar Company installed two years ago, but it doesn't show all the time and trouble saved. The trial balance, for instance, which used to be ready on the 10th or 12th, is now little more than a mere listing and is sure to be ready the day after the books are closed. And it doesn't show the other Burroughs benefits of better, neater records; of accuracy that doesn't have to be checked; of overtime eliminated and ledger balances always extended. It doesn't even show all the direct moneysavings for there are considerable savings in stationery in the course of a year.

Shock Was Too Severe.-Once there was a woman who moved into an apartment and found everything swept and scrubbed and as clean as if she had done it herself. The shock left her lying helpless on the floor, but soon she managed to drag herself to the telephone, where, her strength fast ebbing away, she gave central a number. Presently a voice came over the telephone. "I just wanted to tell you," said the suffering woman, “how thankful I am to find the apartment in such lovely condition. You are one in a million, and I shall never forget-" There was a sudden clatter at the other end of the line. The woman who had just moved out of the apartment fell to the floor with a crash, tearing the telephone connections from their fastenings. She had swooned, for tho she had cleaned apartments annually since her weddingday, no succeeding tenant had ever admitted it before.. 66 They met in the hospital three weeks later, in a ward marked Quiet." Both recovered slowly and whiled away the long hours getting acquainted. They became friends such good friends, indeed, that they have canceled their leases, broken up housekeeping, and have moved their husbands off to a family hotel, in order that they may be together forever and forever.

J Doviel R~ With the Bailiff at the Door Beau Brummell shaved serenely on B EAU BRUMMELL-who "taught Wales what a coat was like"-inventor of numberless niceties of dress-gambled himself into poverty. Publicly cut by the King, he had his last remaining finery laid out preparatory to seeking a friend who might save him from disgrace. With Weston, his faithful valet, keeping the door against the bailiffs, the great beau shaved serenely on. Prince of the Dandies to the last, he finished the job with the utmost care. Then, carefully wiping dry the precious blade and affectionately placing it in its case, he turned to Weston with the command: "Now let the rogues in." The razor that Beau Brummell used was a shaving tool of wonderful balance.
