This section is from the book "The Steward's Handbook And Guide To Party Catering", by Jessup Whitehead. Also available from Amazon: Larousse Gastronomique.
Pages 38 and 39 show, greatly reduced in size, leaves from the most elaborate form of storeroom account book. Blank books of this pattern with the headings, rulings and everything printed except, of course, the figures and unusual items, are copyright property. The system is, however, only the same as that on pages 34 and 35 carried up to the highest class of hotel with its more numerous departments, and the book large enough to admit the totals from the receiving books and meal count and steward's daily memoranda. It will be seen that the day's transactions are shown by this' book at a glance, and the amount of stock in the storeroom is known at any time. There is a monthly stock taking, however, to verify these totals. Taken in connection with the previous explanations of the workings of the steward's department this example explains itself, and maybe studied with profit.
