Excerpt from Business Practice Bookkeeping: A Thorough Treatise on Modern and Practical Methods of Accounting for the Use of Business and Commercial Schools and Colleges, Commercial High Schools, Technical Schools, and Commercial Departments in Other Educational Institutions While it is impossible to illustrate fully ina text all modern methods of accounting, we believe that the student who completes the work as presented in this book will have no trouble in under standing any practical system of accounts which may come to his notice. The forms, processes, and work are taken from actual books of the counting house and have been fully tested in one of the most successful and practical business colleges of America. They have been compiled by an expert accountant from a pedagogical standpoint and are presented in a very attractive manner.
