way; I found Alonzo Mann, the office boy, in the outer office,
I took off my coat and hat and sat upon my desk and opened the
safe, and assorted the various cases and files and wire trays
containing the various papers that were placed there the evening
before, and distributed them in their proper places about the
office. I then went out to the shipping room and conversed a
few minutes with Mr. Irby, who at that time was shipping clerk,
concerning the work which he was going to do that morning,
through, to the best of my recollection, we did no shipping
that day, due to the fact that the freight offices were not
receiving any shipments, due to its being a holiday. I re-
turned to my office, and looked through the papers, and as-
sorted out those which I was going to take over on my usual
trip to the General Manager's office that morning; I then
turned to the invoices covering shipments which were made by
the Pencil Factory on Thursday, April 24th, and which were
typewritten and figured out on Friday, April 25th, by Miss
Bubenks, the stenographer who stays in my office; she had nur-
ried through with her work that day, previous to going home, so
she could spend the holiday in the country where she lived; I
didn't get to checking over those invoices covering these
shipments on Friday, due to the fact that Mr. Schiff and myself
were completely occupied the entire day until we left the fac-
tory, with the pay-roll, so naturally, as these invoices cover-
ing shipments which were made on April 25th, ought to have been
sent to the customers, I got right to work in checking them.
Now, I have these invoices here; these papers have not been
exhibited before, but I will explain them. You have seen some
of all the mathematical work in the office of
the Pencil Factory, this very operation, this very piece of work
that I have now before me, is the most important, it is the
invoices covering shipments are sent to customers by card
