Text:
I watch my business, especially its details...I trust my clerks more freely with my cash than with my goods, for they are apt to forget that every particle of goods costs me money. Therefore, I have reduced my business to a cash basis, and weigh my goods in dollars and cents. I use nothing but Dayton Computing Scales. They save time, work, worry, and make me money. So say over 25,000 other merchants.
