"System three Model six" and it carries out invoicing for both Sheaffer and Spiedel, computes cost of sales, completes inventories and tabulates accounts receivable. Bill Gardner, Sheaffer. Pen manager, explains that the new system provides the company, with more accurate reporting on sales and product classifications. "The system gives us a better feel of our business," he notes. "We could dothe work manually," he adds, "but the loss through time and errors proves to be very costly."

According to the Sheaffer manager the change to I.B.M. in the Goderich accounting department was uneventful. "I had people telling me about all the trouble we were going to have with the change over," he recalls, "but we did six months preparetion before we ever saw the machines and there have been very few problems." The new accounting system will not force any layoffs at the local Sheaffer office, -instead it has actually represented the hiring of one additional staff member. "We were fortunate to find Sandra Telford who, moved to Goderich recently and who had been trained to operate the I.B.M. key punch unit," Mr. Gardner said.
