- Scope and content:
-
In the 1890s, Mrs. Samuel C. Gans operated a general store in Moundsville, which by 1900 was specializing in dry goods. This ledger reflects the volume of business and the timing and means of settling accounts. The early pages (for the 1890s) are more detailed, listing the items purchased from the general store. For the later period, the entries are frequently limited to the terms "goods" or "merchandise." The back of the volume also contains some notes and miscellaneous accounts, such as rooms rented.
