Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles Telephone Directory, 1947

This collection partially documents the business activities of the Central Market in Geneva, Illinois, from 1902-1977.  Documents before the late 1930’s, however, are sparse and yield little information; the bulk of the material pertains to later years. The collection contains a deed, a license, correspondence, governmental memos, census information, and employer tax returns related to withholding and social security.  Also included are store accounts, sales records, bank accounts, employee and payroll records, an American Legion Post’s finances for Labor Day, 1921, and various printed materials.  Housed with the boxes are two account ledgers.
