d at b October 11th, 1932 s u bj ec t Error In inventory Count
I had fully intended writing you before this regarding tne error found in the count of cans turned in the past two years but It had slipped my mind. It seems that the bin containing these cans had a figure chalked up on it of 39,225 and that instead of counting each can tnis figure was taken as correct. In checking over tne inventory the question came up as to whether or not we could possibly have this many cans on hand and so we made an in vestigation and found that tne actual count should have been 3,y27 instead of 39,225.
The count was taken in the same way the year previous and, of course, would not have effected this years business but in order to write down the inventory so that it would be correct for the coming year it was necessary to charge Loss & Cain with this amount and credit the inventory caption. V.re, of course, have brought this to tne attention of Mr. Pierson, so that he will be acquainted with the manner in which some of his inventory has been taken.
