Accounting in the furniture and woodworking industries, designed in combination with General factory accounting by the same author to afford a definite standard of practice in the industries referred to in the title

Abstract

This book is intended to supplement General Factory Accounting, in which, without reference to particular lines of industry, are set forth the author\u27s general methods of book and record keeping. The purpose of the present book is to illustrate, in detail, the manner of employing those general methods in, as well as to describe and explain the results to be accomplished by the employment of such additional methods as are peculiar to, accounting practice in the furniture and woodworking industries. Originally it was proposed to cover the entire work in a single volume, but, upon mature deliberation, the impossibility of doing this, without running the risk of leaving the average reader more confused than enlightened, became apparent. Accounting in the industries here referred to entails the employment of every method described in the earlier work. In illustrating the employment of these general methods in those industries, and in describing and illustrating the use of the additional methods which the peculiarities of the industries referred to render desirable, the author has gone into more minute detail than he would have felt warranted, had he attempted simultaneously to explain general and special methods. The reader will be best served by taking up the subjects of principle and general practice in the perusal of General Factory Accounting before beginning the study of special methods and their application as these are treated in this book
