WALTER B. PERSHING, OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
COMBINED PETIT LEDGER AND BLOTTER.
SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,729, dated August 4-, 1885.
Application filed July 28, 1884.
T '0 all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WALTER B. PERSHING, a citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improved Petit Ledger and Blotter, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to furnish a convenient device for the purpose of keeping the transient or trivial accounts of merchants in alphabetical order in a systematic, compact, and convenient shape for reference.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention. Figurel represents the covers and central leaves to which the other parts are to be attached. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the complete device opened. Fig. 3 represents the same closed.
a and b are stiff covers connected by a flexible back, 0.
d and e are a pair of stiff interior covers, like the covers a and I). Said interior covers, (Z and e, are placed close together centrally between the covers a and b, and flexibly connected with the back, thus dividing the book into two compartments, each having a pair of covers secured to a flexible back common to both. Each of the covers is provided near the top with eyelet-holes f f, for the purpose of receiving binding-clips 9, Fig. 2.
To the inside of each of the covers a and b, and to the sides of the central covers, (Z and e, opposed to said covers, tablets, like A, are secured by means of fastening-clips 9. Each tablet is perforated to correspond with holes f. It consists of a quantity of blank bill-heads, like h,with stubs at the top, and separated by blank leavest' 1', each bearing a different letter of the alphabet, into six parcels. Each tablet is also provided with a top cover, j, having silica-slate surfaces, on which memoranda of accounts may be written and erased at pleas- (Modch) ure, serving as a perpetual blotter from which memoranda-accounts may from time to time be posted under the initial-letter of the person against whom they are made in bill-form on the blanks it. Each of said covers j also carries one of the letters of the alphabet. The interposed separatingleaves t and covers j project below the bill-heads sufficiently to expose the letters of the alphabet thereon, thus forming a marginal index.
In using the book the bookkeeper or clerk. when a small bill of goods is sold on credit, makes a memorandum of the articles sold, amount, and name of purchaser on the silica slate cover j, from which at his leisure he may post the account in bill-form on the blanks below under the appropriate initial-letter, where it is always convenient for instant reference. A combined book of original entry, or blotter and petit ledger, is thus formed,
which is of great convenience in small trans actions.
I claim as my invention- 1. The combination of covers a and I), covers d and e, flexible back a, and a series of tablets removably fastened to said covers, and each composed of a cover, j, having an erasable marking surface, several parcels of blank bill-forms, and separating-leaves bearing different letters of the alphabet and forming a marginal index, all substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In a petit ledger, the combination, with a pair of stiff exterior covers joined by a flexible back, of a pair of interior stiff covers, also joined to said flexible back, whereby a book is formed having two compartments, substantially as specified.
WALTER B. PERSHING.
