"First on the agenda was to develop standards of notation for the bass in sheet music for the accordion. Up until this time, some composers wrote out the basses in the treble clef, some used full chords, some used numbers for chords, while others used letters, and so on." from the AAA website.

An example of this is a 1928 copyright of Accordiana by Charles Magnante. Here we see the basses written on the treble clef. If you are not paying attention and play on autopilot it does not turn out well.
