A properly kept line each day on your Business Analysis Spread-Sheet will provide a study of: (1) The day of the week and day of the month complete with all weather influences; (2) The feature attraction complete with costs; (3) The total admis¬ sions by car and by patron; and (4) The confection soles by car and by patron. # At the end of any one month, the complete picture is there for analysis and study,— and at the end of the same month ot the following year, your headway or shortcomings are obvious. # Here is what might be termed "a Monthly Boxoffice Statement." Price: 55c for T3 sheets PIUS SERVICE —complete with all Withholdings and Deductions for Tax Returns. # Uncle Sam requires that you keep careful, permanent records of all employee earnings and of all tax or other deductions, under penalty of fine or imprisonment. Here is the most simple theatre method. With ushers and other low-paid help, turnover is fre¬ quent so a salary book is incon¬ venient and bulky. Under this EX¬ HIBITOR system, one 81/2 X 11 inch index card suffices for any one employee for one year, and each year is an entity in itself. The card of a fired or quit em _ _ _ _ ployee is set aside for tax return and government report; and current caras, arranged alphabetically constitute the only working set. 0 Here is a time-saving, accurate system you'll rave aboutl Price: 40c for 12 cards Service-Kit BRIEF CASE (a) • A big, genuine cowhide, zipper-en¬ closed briefcase equipped with 3-ring binder designed to hold the Service-Kit Forms (See No. 1) and a full year of Pink Review Sections as published sepa¬ rately by EXHIBITOR.
