[Farmall] IH accounting anyone?

[South Mountain Pharmacy]

Me too....don't remember what year it was but calculators were a new thing. 
I had a Bomar Brain.  Only add, subtract, multiply and divide for $110 at 
Boscovs Department Store.  Today I sell similar (only much smaller) 
calculators for $1.99.
