Description

Ledger Book for the Corners Store, operated by C.K. Brewster from 1883 through 1886. 424 pages. C.K. Brewster also operated a general store in Worthington Center. The Corners Store was owned by Horace Cole at the time. The rent was $33.75/quarter. Additional costs included coal and insurance.

Ledgers are organized by account. Under each account, there is a chronological list of the account’s debits and credits for said period of time. The front of the ledger contains an alphabetical index of accounts and the corresponding page number. This ledger runs 484 pages -- all of them filled with information. The term 'sund' appears most frequently in the lists of purchases and refers to unspecified sundries. The book is cloth bound with leather edges, and is special-made for this purpose. The word "Ledger" is on the spine.
