Excerpt from Notes on Post Exchanges

These notes are not intended as a fixed set of instructions for the guidance and conduct of Post Exchanges, but are the result of considerable study on the manner of their management. The methods, forms, etc., enumerated herein have been tried in several exchanges and have proven successful. They were devised with the idea of making them useful for both large and small exchanges.

With the various duties assigned to army officers, it is realized that they cannot specialize in all. In many instances officers are assigned duties of which they have no practical knowledge or experience, and are left to the mercy of those under them for instruction. Exchange officers and stewards sometimes learn to conduct exchanges by experimenting, until finally they succeed in finding a satisfactory system. In many instances this method has resulted disastrously for those concerned. At other times, while there was no great loss, the exchange was not securing its maximum profits.

The forms and methods described are merely suggestions. It is believed that the use of the forms in the manner indicated, will give the exchange officer a good check on the business of the exchange, and it will do away with much unnecessary paper work.

An effort has been made to make these notes fit any Post Exchange, but it is realized that it is not always practical to do so. There is nothing in these notes that violates the provisions of Post Exchange Regulations, 1916.

If the suggestions contained herein are found useful to others, I will feel that my object in writing these notes has been accomplished.
