H. H. Wagner Estate Statements, 1914-1915

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 2
Identifier: Folder 2

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

These records document the history of the H. H. Wagner Dry Goods Store from 1866-1922. Since Mr. Wagner did not establish his business until 1875, it is presumed that the earliest records (1866-1875) are from the R. K. Chandler Dry Goods Store of which Mr. Wagner was an employee. Extensive inventories comprise a major series in the collection detailing the store’s merchandise and it’s monetary value. A second series including an employee daily wage... ledger (1873-1875), account ledgers (1866-1914), and sales and cash ledgers (1868-1892), contains information on the financial aspect of the business. Although there is no correspondence in the collection, legal documents (1873-1922), estate statements (1914-1915), and advertising materials provide background information on the business’ history.
