Incorruptible Cashier

James Ritty, was tired of the dishonesty of his bartenders who were pocketing some of his profits and had an idea of a way to solve the problem. In 1879 he applied for a patent. The result was “Ritty’s Incorruptible Cashier” which became the prototype for the cash registers used today. The National Cash Register Company of Dayton bought the rights to the patent and became the largest manufacturer of cash registers in the world.

  1. Funny how a card reader and calculator sits close by. It is nice to have memories of the sound cash registers made. No one will ever take that away from us.
