It should be a positive rule that all goods shall be checkedwhen they are placed in the cases. The items should be called offby the packer as he handles them, and checked on the order by achecker. This is a safer plan than calling off the items from theorder, as it insures a positive check on the items actually packed—not what should have been packed. All order blanks should be 331. 20 THE SHIPPING DEPARTMENT provided widi a separate column in which to check the itemsactually shipped, and quantities should be entered in this columneven if the order is shipped in full. The checking column on theorder blank is shown in Fig. 8. If the system of entering ordersincludes a copy to be used as an invoice, the items are entered in thiscolumn after the shipping order is returned to the office. The initials or numbers of both packer and checker shouldappear on the shipping order. It is also a good plan to place in eachcase a packers slip, shown in Fig. 9, giving the number or initials of the packer and instructing thecustomer to return the slip withany claim for shortage or dam-aged goods. In some houses, it isthe custom to make the packersslip a duplicate of the order,listing all items packed, in whichcase, it makes a convenient re-ceiving slip for the customer. ^Vhile not offering positiveinsurance against mistakes, athorough checkin
