Bank Installs New Ledger
'^£3
I
Another step toward com
plete bookkeeping automa
tion has been taken by the
Chardon Savings Bank Co.
An automatic ledger feeder
has been connected to the
bank’s Post-Tronic machine.
Working together, the two
machines automatically pick
up old checking account bal
ances and transfer them to
current sheets.
Employees working the
machines merely load the
ledger sheets into the auto
matic feeder. If some of the
ledger sheets should be out of
order, the machine automati
cally rejects them.
“This is part of what will
eventually be a completely
automatic system,” said E.
E. Johnson, Jr., vice presid
ent of the bank.
The Chardon Savings Bank
Co. is among the leaders in
the United States in install
ing this type of modern equip
ment, manufactured by the
National Cash Register Co.
of Dayton.
Approximately 4500 check
ing accounts will be proces
sed each month with the
bank’s new equipment.

don voters have ever turned
down a school bond issue in
