Checking and auditing system used in the Saint Paul Hotel, St. Paul, Minn. installed by the National Cash Register Company, Dayton, Ohio; National Checking and auditing system for hotels

When the new St. Paul Hotel of St. Paul. Minn., opened in April, 1910, it was fully equipped with National Cash Registers. After experience with other systems in various hotels, the management, after a thorough investigation, decided that a complete National Cash Register system would give them the best control in handling the business of their new hotel. This system has now been in operation for more than two years and has done the work expected of it. That this is the most complete hotel auditing system ever devised, will be understood by reading this book. It is based entirely upon mechanical and machine printed records; it furnishes an accurate, unchangeable record of every transaction ; gives classified information to the manager of the hotel at any time he wishes it, and makes possible quick and accurate service to hotel patrons. By means of registers specially adapted to the different departments, records are made which provide a complete check on the entire receipts of the house, including the Front Office, as well as the Cafes, Cigar Stands, Bar, Billiard Room, Barber Shop. Banquet and Special Service, etc.â⠡¬â€�in fact every department that represents revenue to the hotel. As a part of this system there is provided a master audit register which is located in the auditor\u27s office. The records on this machine, which are taken from reports furnished the auditor from the registers located in the different departments, form a control or check on the accuracy of the bookkeeping department. These controlling records provide a perfect safeguard on the entire receipts of the house. Language : en

NCR Welfare Work pamphlet

This twenty-six-page pamphlet, published by the National Cash Register Company (NCR) in Dayton, Ohio, describes worker benefit programs during the 1920s. John Paterson, NCR president, developed a corporate philosophy that improving the general welfare of employees was the duty of management and was also good business. The pamphlet cover is a foldout; inside the cover is a color summary of the various benefit programs designed to promote a productive, efficient workforce. Continuing education programs, gardening and general health, safety, and general economic security were all concerns of the company. The employee welfare programs and the history behind them is developed in the subsequent pages. The pamphlet is 5.25" x 10.625" (13.34 x 26.99 cm ) with the cover 10.755" (27.305cm) wide when unfolded. John H. Patterson founded the National Cash Register Company in Dayton, Ohio. Patterson (1844-1922), hoping the machines could save him money by reducing accounting errors in his supply business, purchased the patent rights to the cash register from James Ritty in 1884. Within six months, he reduced his debt and showed a profit. Patterson built the first National Cash Register factory on his family farm in Dayton in 1888. By the turn of the century, the company had become one of the largest employers in Dayton. Known for his strict training program for salespeople and health and education programs for employees, Patterson was closely involved in the daily lives of many of his employees
