This ledger book was purchased by Jim Lyons and he has kindly allowed me to borrow it to share with you the names on the store's accounts in this book covering a time period of August 9, 1876 to as late as June 22, 1878. We do not know if other books from this store still exist. If they do, they are not in our possession.
