TG T T - DENNY -to start your new set of books Jan., 1915 The above statement will and should interest every business man and merchant in Bemidji.

His services and the set of books will | More than this---read on--- i Cost you nothing. He furnishes the sérvices, we furnish the books. Will you do it? Don’t Think For A Minute ---that it will be necessary for you to alter your present detailed system, hire a book- keeper, etc. No, this is not the case, you will be able to keep your own books by spending a few minutes a day. Our motive is a bigder one. = ---We are proud of Bemidji---we are proud of our merchants and business men and we want to be proud of their methods of accounting. We are compelled to keep books in the banking business and we know that it pays. It would be a goed thing for all if the law compelled every merchant to keep a double entry set of books so that he will know at least once a year exactly how he stands---and whether he is able to meet all obligations, pay his debts, etc. By this system you will know absolutely whether you are making a dollar or losing a dollar and a great many other things you do not know now. Can you afford to guess longer? Would this be worth anything to you? Think it over. : ---Some of our merchants have installed a splendid system over which we could hardly suggest an improve- ment but others who have not will find it much to their advantage to accept this opportunity. If you are in doubt ask any merchant who now operates this system if he would go back to the old one. ---and when you are ready to start your new year come to our bank and ask for the books. No, we do not carry " them in stock, but will get them for you, pay for them and arrange with Mr. Sathre to open the system in your store without costing you a cent or even obligating yourself in any way. ’ ---Now, it doesn’t make any difference whether you are doing business with us or not, the offer is for one and all who conduct a business in Bemidji.
