Descriptivemarch gallop Emerson Military Band GETTING READY FOR THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN How Geo. H. O'Connor, a Noted Columbia Artist, Figures in the Motion Picture Reels Being Made for Exploitation Purposes — An Attorney and Character Song Artist In the forthcoming Liberty Loan publicity campaign, there will be used a series of motion pictures that will be displayed in the moving picture theatres throughout the country. This film will contain many features of interest, and G. H. O'Connor Buying Bond From Will be almost identical with the pictures used in the last Liberty Loan campaign. Included in these films is one scene entitled: "The Secretary of War Sells a Bond to the Cheerful Subscriber, George H. O'Connor." The "still" of this film has just been received by Mr. O'Connor from the committee on public information, George Creel, chairman, and is presented herewith. In addition to Secretary of War Baker and Mr. O'Connor, there are shown in this scene the members of the Liberty Loan committee — John Poole, president, Federal National Bank; Corcoran Thom, vicepresident, American Security & Trust Co.; B. F. Saul, president, Home Savings Bank: Eugene Ailes, Na1 tional City Co.; E. E. Thompson, of Crane, Parris & Co. George H. O'Connor is an exclusive Columbia artist, whose records have achieved countrywide success. He is the son of an American army officer, and Secretary of War was born, reared and still resides in Washington, D. C, where in his serious moments he is known as an attorney and counsellor at law. He is one of America's most popular character song artists, and his splendid tenor voice is remarkably well adapted for recordinor. INVENTORIES AND THE TAX LAW New War Revenue Bill Will Serve to Make Many Merchants Take Their First Accurate Inventory — Should Help Business A member of the National Association of Credit Men makes the excellent point that under the new War Revenue Law numerous unskilled merchants will, for the first time, be called upon to make out an income tax report, and believes that this will prove a very direct advantage to business, because merchants who have not been in the habit of taking regular inventory will now be forced to do so. Revenue collectors emphasize the point that every merchant will be expected to take an exact annual inventory, else his tax report can be based on nothing better than guessing, which will not satisfy the Government. For the benefit of the small merchant who has seldom been called upon to do anything of the sort, the following formula is offered for determining net profit: A SIMPLE FORMULA FOR DETERMINING NET PROFIT Inventory of Dec. 31st, 1916, at cost $ Add Purchases in 1917 .$ Total $ Subtract Inventory of Dec. 31st, 1917, at cost $ Cost of goods sold in 1917 (item 3 less item 4) $ Sales in 1917 (Cash and Credit) $ Subtract item 5 from item 6 to arrive at GROSS PROFIT $ 9. 10. 11. 12. DEDUCTIONS Expense of doing business (Rent, Wages, a Reasonable Salary to Proprietor, Light, Fuel, Taxes of all kinds, except those not on the business, and all other business expenses) $ Depreciation on Fixtures $ Bad Debt Losses $ Total Deductions $ NET Profit $ PATHE WINDOW HANGER FOR APRIL Contains All the Latest Hits and Is Most Attractively Printed The Pathe Freres Phonograph Co., Brooklyn, N. Y., has just sent out to its dealers an attractive hanger featuring the new Pathe records for April.
