How I Make My “Pay Outs” Pay In
. By WILLIAM FLINTZER
I had my delicatessen store on upper Second Avenue,
New York, for two years before I fully realized that
there are two parties to profit—Pay Out and Pay In.
Profit isn’t merely a matter of cash received—it’s
even more a matter of cash paid out.
You can’t always control prices but you can control
expense.
That is, *you can if yon b/ow what your expenses air.
I didn’t know—hut I decided to find out.
So I bought a Burroughs Figuring Machine.
The Simplest Kind of Bookkeeping
I keep my own books.
On the back of each “pay out” ticket from the cash
register I make a note of what the amount is for. At
odd moments I classify these tickets: merchandise
bought for cash; merchandise charged; salary; heat and
light; rent; furniture and fixtures; and general expense
—all are grouped separately.
At the end of the day I list each item on the
Burroughs, and total each group.
This machine-printed, accurate list is pasted in a
yellow book as the day’s record.
These daily totals are added for the month to show
the monthly expenses under each division.
I don’t guess at anything—I get facts. Monthly
receipts are totaled and pasted in a cash book. Then
expenses and receipts are compared.
I know each month just what my percentage cost of doing busi
ness has been—and my profits are there in plain figures.
In more ways than one the Burroughs Machine has helped me.
It relieves me of figure worry. I use it in checking invoices. It pre
vents mistakes. Above all, it shows me the progress of my business
from day to day and year to year.
Figure knowledge has been a big factor in my success. Is it any
wonder I wouldn’t be without a Burroughs Machine?
A Model for Every Business
Ninety-eight models of Burroughs Machines afford a wide selection.
Let the Burroughs man talk with you about the possibilities of apply
ing a Burroughs to your figure work. You can get in touch with
him by addressing a letter to Mr. E. S. Hewitt, at Juneau, Alaska.
