YOU'LL GET THE RIGHT ANSWER THE FIRST TIME ON A MONROE

MISTAKES have a way of disguising themselves so

that you often look right at them without recogniz- ing thom. That is one of the reasons why faw account- ante, estimators and others who handle business figuros trust the first answer they got when they work without a Moaros Adding-Calculator.

Granted that checking figures back is a protection against mistakes, consider those three thoughts. First, It takes an enormous amount of time and nervous energy to chook back on figures. Second, this expendituro of nervous energy incroasos the probability of overlooking orrors and of ropasting the same mistakes over and ovor. And third, when any part of the work is subjact to human fallibility you can never bo doad sure of the right answer, in spite of all the shocking:

The simplest, safest and onniest way to relieve human minds of needless strain and at the same timo guard against the mistakes human minds can't entirely avoid is to use a Monroe.
