He thought he saw the possibility of adapting its principles to the work of counting and checking his cash, receipts. He could hardly wait till lie got ironic to try out his idea. 1'he first machine he invented was called a ll'ia'1 1Regdster. The dial had two ,groups of !figures and two indic- ator hands, 'One group of figures rep- resented keys reading from one to nine dollars and the other multiples of five cents -up to 915. 4.n the wooden cabinet of the register was a wide roll of paper ruled in columns—a col- umn for each key. When a key was pressed, it punched a hole in• the cor- responding column of the roll, rang a bell and raised a tin indicator to show ` the customer what amount had Ibsen registered. At the end of the day, the proprietor unlocked the 'cabinet, re- moved the roll and counted the 'holes. He multiplied each total by the ,fig- ure for the column and so got the total amount of cash that ought to be on hand. It was not long before an improv- ed model called a "detail adder" was produced. It had a seriesof adding wheels which :showed the number .ot tines that the key had keen pressed. James 'Ritty found practically no market for 'his machine and soon sold his patent rights. The 'credit for de- veloping the cash register and•lliu.ild- ing today's world-wide organization in' the 'National Cash Register Comp- any ,goes to John H. Patterson, .a Dayton 'business man who had ;be- came one of the greatest industrial •figures i3 the United States when he died in /1022. I"atterson's greatest contribution to the evolution of the cash register was his courageous educational and sell- ing campaign, 'For many years the hand df every store clerk was set_ against the new contraption. ,Every effort was made to discredit the ac- curacy of the register.. (Organizations of stare clerks sought to block him at every turn. They watched for en- velopes bearing the name of the hated cash register company and de- stroyed tlient before they reached the boss, When the' name was left off the envelopes they watched 'for the Day- ton postmark. For some years the letters were mailed each month from a different city. While he was struggling with mer- chandising problems, Patterson was. making great strides in developing the register itself. Before the turn of the century he had devised audit - providing an itemized statement of each transaction as well as t13e total business, Then came the receipt printer, multiple •drawers, and .multi- ple counters with separate totals for each clerk or for various transactions like Cash, Received on +Account,, Paid Out and No Sale, Since 19211 the .com- pany has developed the 'bookkeeping machine which combines an adding machine gnt`1 ".a typewriter for prepar- ing statements with descriptive de- tails of merchandise. .For the last 313 years, the growing demands of the British Empire have been supplied from Toronto and in large p r, 1 r slBe - ants in addition there are a lin and Japan. 'The new Toronto ,far- tory, opened less than a year ata t, is remarkable for its unusually ante supply of light. Windows make' up four -fifths of the wall space.
