Burroughs Reaches Million Mark
Ibovc is shown Joseph Boyer, Chairman c* the Board of Directors,
Surtoughs Adding Machine Co., and the millionth machine. Mr. Boyet
•manufactured the first Burroughs machine 41 veers ago in his ov.n shoo.
The one millionth "Burroughs ma-1
chine has just been completed by the
Burroughs Adding Machine Company
in its Detroit plant, according to an
announcement received today by R.
C. Keith, local manager of the com-
pany.
"Production of this millionth ma-
chine is a revelation of the remark-
able growth of the industry and a
graphic illustration of the acceptance
of office machinery by the modern
business world,” said Mr. Keith. [
“Forty-one years ago, William Se- j
ward Burroughs, as a bank clerk,'
faced the daily necessity of endless j
computation of figures—a monoton-
ous daily routine stifling to ambi-
tion. He gave up his work to devote
his entire attention to inventing a
machine that would lift this burden
from the shoulders of thousands of
fellow workers in the 8,000 banks
then existing.
“The first 50 machines were made
in the little machine shop of Joseph
Boyer, in St. Louis, Mo., a year after
its invention. From Burroughs’ first
simple adding device to the present
complete line of business accounting
machines is a long step—a step madt
possible by an organization that has
kept pace with every phase of ac-
counting in the rapid expansion of
American industry. The market has
grown far beyond the anticipated de-
mand of 8,000 machines and, today,
with a million machines produced,
the market is still expanding.”
From the modest one-story ma-
chine shop, with ten employes, own-
ed by Mr. Boyer, the industry has
grown to proportions that it now em-
ploys more than 10,000 people, with
branches all over the civilized world.
Mr. Boyer, now chairman of the
board of directors, has been associat-
ed with the company since the first
machine was made.
The millionth machine will be on
exhibition at the Sesqui-Centennial
Exposition which opens in Philadel-
phia in June. ,

In order to be better equipped to j
serve the public, we are making a J
change in our policy. Hereafter we J

sell merchandise at prices above 50c, i
which has been our limit so long. \
However, in this higher priced mer-
chandise we will give the same great j
values that we have always given
and endeavor to save for you the
long profits which you have been !
forced to pay in many instances.
Watch our windows for special vnl-
ues, with a range of prices 59c, 69c,
79c, 89c and 98c. |
We have also just added a line of
two for 5c, 5c and 10c lace. See our
