The Physician's
Improved Account System
The card ledger is the up-to-date book-keeping system and is being used for all kinds of accounts.
It is the simplest and best method a doctor can use. With it there are no dead accounts to handle (when an account is paid the card is transferred to the closed accounts); no indexing to do, the cards being filed in alphabetical order; there is a great economy of time, the statement of an account is always ready when a client asks for it; because of this, collections are made prompter and easier.
The Physician's Account System consists of a handsome quarter-sawed, dust-proof oak box (like the illustration shown) 5×6×9 inches, with a hinged lid, 500 buff cards, 3×5 inches, ruled on both sides, and two sets (A to Z) of alphabet guide cards, one set for the open accounts, the other for the closed accounts, and a movable metal partition to separate the open from the closed accounts.
