On [page 58] will be found a monthly total of these amounts, as apart from expenditure by the brigade. It is impossible to make comparisons, but it is nevertheless believed that in no section of any military organization has better value been secured for the amount involved.
The Purchasing Section, up to January 1st, 1919, issued 15,700 orders and handled 37,300 invoices. Business of this magnitude demands system, and in this case got it. On [page 35] is a diagram showing not only the procedure of purchase, but also the history of invoices when received, reflecting the coöperation between consumer and purchaser to secure assurance of the delivery of what has been ordered, before payment.
Mention has been made of the variety of the purchases arranged by this section, and to this might be added the fact that extremely large quantities were involved.
