Speedometers and Speed Recorders Mr Rockefeller Uses a 13 Column burroughs ' IS secretary, Mr. Alva Jenkins, was attracted by a Burroughs advertisement and answered it. He subsequently bought a 13-column machine for use in his office. Now Mr. Rockefeller is not the richest man in the world because he uses a Burroughs in his office, but he uses a Burroughs in his office for the reason that in this, as in all other things, he has from the beginning of his career used the best methods for accomplishing the purpose desired and surrounded himself by men who know the best when they see it. It will pay you to follow his example in this respect at least and install the Burroughs Adding and Listing Machine for constant, daily, labor-saving, time-saving, error-preventing use. The Burroughs has so many good points—so many exclusive points—and does SO many and varied things־ accurately and speedily that they cannot be described in one small advertisement. It will add and list figures in columns or across sheets from three to six times as fast as a clever clerk. It adds and lists from two to five columns at one time, subtracts, multiplies and divides, adds fractions, etc. Just a few days’ trial will convince you that it is not only useful but indispensable. We want you to try it—a free trial with no obligation to buy. Ask for Bank System No. 35.
