I went to work as a bookeeper for a small family-owned photo shop in about 1979. The woman (mom) had done most of it herself from the beginning. She directed me to use columnar paper for my ledger (no computers yet in those days) from a drawer that had already been used on one side. The back side had dates in the 40s and 50s!
