About this Vintage Print Ad

This advertisement uses the story of Ben, a talking fox terrier, to draw a humorous parallel to the importance of clear and exact figures in business. It suggests that, unlike Ben, business professionals need accurate, up-to-the-minute figures, which can be provided by the Comptometer adding-calculating machine. The ad emphasizes the machine's accuracy, low cost, and usefulness in the office, and notes that it is made by Felt & Tarrant Manufacturing Co. and sold exclusively by its Comptometer Division in Chicago.
