INCREASED ACTIVITY SHOWN IN BUSINESS SCHOOL WORK

The work of the Bureau of Business Research is going on with added stimulus this year. J. N. van der Voort G.B. '15 has been working with the corps since he graduated from the Graduate School of Business Administration last year and Lawrence 3 has been added to the office quarters.

During last summer A. H. Onthank 2G.B., W. J. Keyes 2G.B., W. E. Johnson 2G.B. and W. A. Sleeper 2G.B. were working as field agents for the Bureau collecting statistics from retail grocers.

The most recent publication by the Bureau is "Depreciation in the Retail Shoe Business." The Bureau is now completing a draft of "Uniform Accounting for Shoe Wholesalers" which has been drawn up with the aid of a committee appointed for the purpose by the National Shoe Wholesalers Association.

The success of the Bureau's important work is well illustrated by the fact that the Chicago Credit Mans Association recently voted to adopt the Harvard system of accounts for retail grocers, as embodied in a former publication of the Bureau, and is now sending names of retailers to whom copies of the accounting system are to be sent. This accounting system has worked so well for retail grocers that the National Wholesale Grocers Association wishes to have the Bureau co-operate with its committee in creating a uniform accounting system for all wholesale grocers.
