Scope and Contents:
The volumes in this collection are day books of a general store in Charles Town, Jefferson County, Va. (now W. Va.), documenting itemized lists of sales to various individuals. The first volume records the sale of dry goods, yard goods, clothing, and liquor, while the second volume shows sales of yard goods, grain, milk products, liquor, and hardware. The second volume also contains several contracts and receipts for the rental of houses and rooms, signed by various renters and countersigned by Rebecca Ann Frame.
The journals were acquired in 1941.
