12mo, $1.25 net. Postage extra.
The aim of this book is to furnish simple and accurate instructions for the conduct of "Every-Day Business,"—such business as inevitably falls to the lot of thousands of American women, both married and single. The methods of banking, the management of a check-book, foreign exchange, getting money in emergencies, how to send money, bills and receipts, the relations of employer and employee, relations with railroads and hotels, simple bookkeeping, on sending things, taxes and customs, the use and transference of property, stocks and bonds, wills and estates—all these are clearly and even entertainingly explained, and the woman who has read the book will find herself saved many daily moments of doubt and many annoying errors. It is a book which should be in every home, on every woman's writing-table.
Miss Wilbur has been for many years a teacher of banking and political economy in Miss Dana's celebrated school at Morristown, New Jersey, and the present work is the result of practical experience in teaching the elements of correct business procedure.
