Fireside Accounting and Business Training,
By E. E. Gardner
For the ordinary business of everyday life, each person should know how to keep a set of books; should know what the different commercial papers are, and their use. It is not necessary to spend several months, and a large amount of money, in obtaining this knowledge. “Fireside Accounting and Business Training,”
Principal of the Battle Creek College Commercial Department, gives a working knowledge of bookkeeping, in so clear and simple a manner that it can readily be learned at home. Concerning “Fireside Accounting and Business Training,” and the subject of bookkeeping, Elder G. A. Irwin, president of the General Conference, says:— “It is a Scriptural injunction to ‘owe no man anything,’ and the same principle applies to our relations to the Lord; but in order to know our exact standing, both with God and man, it is necessary to keep an accurate account of all our business transactions. “Very many otherwise good people become involved, and dishonor both themselves and the cause of God, because they go in debt here and there without keeping any account as to whether their outlay exceeds their income. System and order is a law of heaven, and should be with those whose citizenship is there.” “‘Fireside Accounting and Business Training’ should be in every home. As the name implies, it is a treatise on bookkeeping, and is adapted to the needs of all classes. The book is so arranged that anyone of ordinary intelligence can master the subject without a teacher. It begins with the simple transactions of everyday life, and carries the learner along so naturally and easily, and withal so interestedly, that before he is aware of it, he finds himself master of a good business education, with a very small outlay upon his part other than a few moments’ application each day, that might otherwise have been wasted. I trust the book may have an extensive circulation.” “Fireside Accounting and Business Training” consists of a text-book of 130 pages, and a complete set of blank books and commercial forms necessary for the business transactions. The regular price is $2.00. Special price to readers of the Review, $1.50. Order at once of your tract society, or of the— REVIEW AND HERALD PUB. CO.,
