Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Retail Organization and Accounting Control
With the firm belief that Accounting may eventually become a science, and that the knowledge accumulated through experience and experiments is essential to the furtherance of such science, I have written this book out of my accumulated knowledge and experience for the benefit of retailing establishments and the accounting profession. We are living in a world of specialization and in writing this book, I have treated in its entirety retail control. All the systems have been installed with very large organiza tions to test their worth, prior to placing them before Retailers and the Accounting world in this volume. No consideration whatever is given to manufacturing, except ing where it is necessary to draw a comparison. The department store, the specialty shop, and retail store of any description are within the book's scope. I have eliminated as far as possible technicalities, that the value of this volume may be enhanced as a textbook and wherever it may be required for a complete installation of a department store system.
