We have carefully gone into the question of handling the St. Louis investment upon the books of the Parent Company and believe the procedure as subsequently outlined will handle the situation. An analysis of the changes in the balance sheet of the de Mi. & Me. &.

The entry on the J. Me. & M. S. Browning Company's books at St. Louis to cover this transaction, as we view it, is to credit the Browning Arms Company current account and charge the Ogden office account. This will bring the books here into agreement with the branch books. A check dated April 4, 1935 for $6,877.29 representing payment for merchandise sold during January has been received in Ogden. We will charge the bank with this check and credit the St. Louis investment account and the entry at St. Louis will be a credit to the Browning Arms Company current account Je Me & Me.
