L.V.F.C.a. TO STaRT
NEW CaSH RECEIPT SYSTEM
Boginning tlio first of the year, the Trad
ing Post, Garage and Pilling Station and
the Warehouse Feed Department mill start
a new system of recording cash purchases.
Instead of the itemized receipted invoice
which has been given with each purchase
heretofore, a small slip shewing the
department from which the purchase was
made, the da.te cf purchase, the clerk's
initials, the amount of the purchase and
the customer's number are all that will
show on the receipt. The same recording
will show on a carbon copy which remains
in the Cash Register and from this record
the Accounting Department can keep their
accounts.
All members of the Cooperating Association
and employees of the a.R.R.C. who have
sit?ied a special purchasing agreement,
will receive a nynber which they will use
in all cash transactions. In this way it
will not be necessary to show the custom
er's name on the receipt.
It is hoped by the new method and the
elimination of much work in the various
departments to reduce the amount of
clerical work necessary and in this way
lower the overhead. It will ultimately
mean more profits for the members cf the
Cooperating Association, says Louie
Odsather, manager of the Trading Post.

EGG Pill CE5 DEC?
Eggs have gone down 3&, a dozen this week,
according to C.C'.Bcal, manager cf the
Creamery. He states that local buyers
are still paying a considerable cverage
for liatanuska eggs but with the outside
market going down steadily, it is impos
sible for us to hold the price as high
as it has been recently. The price for
butter fat remains the same.
The produce department is paying an ad
vance of 2<f; a pound on all marketable
vegetaolcs received, with potatoes paying
1?;# advance. There has oeen considerable
trouble with red potatoes and they are
requesting that no more red potatoes be
brought in.
Poultry and neat prices renain steady.
