IBM Punch Card use for Billing and Sales Analysis

A quote from the New York Times stated "There are typewriters and elaborate computing machines and indexers. There is an exhibit of credit analysis. Life insurance is dramatized. Loan service and safes and gadgets to count and keep your money for you are here for examination. There are puppet and marionette shows and animated exhibits to emphasize the need for safety on the highways. And if the visitor wants to buy theater tickets, have mail forwarded, cash checks, or rent a room, there is a service booth to help him out."
