MODERN BUSINESS METHODS BEING A GUIDE TO THE OPERATIONS INCIDENTAL TO THE TRADE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, WITH THE CUSTOMARY DOCUMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE A REFERENCE BOOK FOR BUSINESS MEN AND A TEXT-BOOK FOR COMMERCIAL STUDENTS The Home Trade BY FREDK. HOOPER SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND JAMES GRAHAM INSPECTOR FOR COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS AND MODERN LANGUAGES Third Edition, revised and enlarged London MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Commerce.- -"An interesting volume. To those engaged in purely commercial pursuits we can favourably recommend this volume for study. Particularly interesting and instructive are the chapters on mediums of exchange, banks and banking, and bills of exchange. The less ambitious duties of invoices, forwarding of goods, remitting money through the post office, etc., are all of a satisfactory character, and should be of value to the beginner in a business house." Daily Mail.-"This handbook is the first of a series designed to initiate youngsters into the practical details of a merchant's office. It is designed either for use in a commercial school or for private work. It is admirable for either purpose. Everything is put very simply and very plainly, from the neatest style of addressing an envelope to the mysteries and pitfalls of a bill of exchange. For a boy of, say, fifteen years, who is not above acquiring the rudiments of the commercial craft he will have to practise, we can think of no more valuable introduction to his business career. Polytechnic Magazine.-"It is without question the best book of its kind yet brought out, both in its spirit and in the method adopted, and I only wish that every young man engaged in clerical work-and a good many who, even while not earning their living by clerical work, are yet called upon to undertake it in however small a way-could have a copy placed in his hands, and could be made to master it from the first page to the last.' " Chamber of Commerce Journal.-"The ground covered is too great to admit of detailed notice, but from a careful perusal of the various chapters, most office work-especially that of merchants' offices-appears to be thoroughly explained in simple language. In fact, ability to pass an examination on every part of the manual would be beyond the capacity of a good many seniors. Students can, with a little application, almost dispense with other assistance than the book itself." Daily Telegraph.-"It is a reference book for business men, a text-book for students, and a guide to the beginner in an office or counting house concerned with home trade. A thorough acquaintance with the whole course should prove useful to the youth entering upon a business career.' " The Manchester Evening Student.-"This book is an admirable treatise on the Home Trade Section of the subject with which it deals, and promises well for the succeeding volume on Foreign Trade. The book cannot fail to afford much useful information as well to those who are already in business houses as to those about to commence a business career." Publishers' Circular.-"This is a guide to the commercial methods of the United Kingdom. The value of manuals such as these can hardly be overlooked. The Bazaar.-"This volume is admirably adapted for commercial schools or private study. It is as simple as it well can be, and to a boy of fifteen or sixteen years of age invaluable, for he can learn in a month or two from its pages as much as he could pick up in several years from hard, and perhaps bitter experience on the treadmill of life." Newcastle Leader.-" Probably no better beginning could be suggested than that outlined in this useful little book on Modern Business Methods." Education.-"This book . . . is a compendium of knowledge on a vast mass of matters relat ng to the office. The matter is well arranged and clearly set forth. The book is full of useful information." MODERN BUSINESS METHODS BEING A GUIDE TO THE OPERATIONS INCIDENTAL TO THE TRADE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, WITH THE CUSTOMARY DOCUMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE A REFERENCE BOOK FOR BUSINESS MEN AND A TEXT-BOOK FOR COMMERCIAL STUDENTS Emport and Export Trade BY FREDK. HOOPER SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND JAMES GRAHAM INSPECTOR FOR COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS AND MODERN LANGUAGES London MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Daily Mail.-"Home Trade has already been dealt with by these authors, and now they have issued through Messrs. Macmillan another admirable handbook on 'Modern Business Methods,' dealing with import and export trade, and setting forth clearly and explicitly a mass of valuable instruction on such points as how to price goods for the foreign markets, bow to order, forward, ship, insure, and invoice them, and how to make arrangements regarding foreign exchange. It is, in short, an invaluable book for all commercial men, whether young or old." Yorkshire Post.-"A manual which will help any intelligent student to deal with foreign enquiries and orders. It is much to be hoped that the work they have so carefully compiled will receive the widest possible attention from the men of business to whose interest it appeals." Commerce." The manual aims, in fact, at being a guide to the whole of the operations connected with the export and import of every class of goods. So we find in its pages all the essential points of difference between the various kinds of invoice, for instance, used in foreign trade, with remarks anent the most convenient trade routes, hints on the law of charter-parties, and many another piece of information. Irrespective of its utility to the heads of firms, there is no doubt that in producing a work of the nature of this one, the authors have gone a very long way towards assisting the junior clerk to gain a thorough insight into the mysteries of his profession. Manchester Guardian.—"It is a useful introduction to the methods and re. quirements of the shipping trade for aspirants to clerkships in mercantile offices. Altogether it is perhaps the most up-to-date manual for the instruction of merchants' clerks we have yet seen.' " Textile Mercury.-"We have the greatest pleasure in recommending it to teachers and students of a commercial course of education; to both it should prove invaluable."
