Description

12 1/8"h x 7 3/4"w x 1 1/4" deep 300 page ledger for the Dynard Store, also known as the Herbert store. W. K. Herbert was likely the proprietor. It was located just east of Colton's Point Road on Grampton Road. The pages were in chronological order as well as numerical order because the clerk first entered the date of sale, then the customer's name, and listed the items purchased. Usually there was more than one date on a page. The number of steady customers was not large. Most customers put their purchases on account, but a few paid at the time of purchase. Handwritten next to each entry in the left margin was a number, the page number of the customer's fiscal account, kept in a separate book. I wish we had that book to see who paid and who didn't. Frequent customers had multiple pages in the account book. There are a few suggestions that some customers paid their bills with produce or eggs. The penmanship of the clerk was hurried, so some names may not be correct. A Mrs. J. L. Long was a frequent customer, but her given name was never mentioned. The commodity sold most often was rye whiskey sold by the drink, the 1/4 pint, the 1/2 pint, and the full pint. Occasionally rum or gin were sold also, as well as bottled beer. If some customers drank all that they bought, they must have had a hazy grasp of reality. Cover P. 1 The book had a buckram cover that had once been beige, but was now darker, stained and dirty. There was a black pattern of festoons and swags stamped around the edges. In the center was "Day Book" in black cursive. At the top "W. K. Herbert" was barely legible. Cover P. 2 Green paper was glued in place over the cardboard. "355," "10," and "ao=," were handwritten in the upper left corner P. 1 Sixteen names with letter grades and a red pencil note for a failing grade P. 2 Nov. 15th 1894 In the left column were numbers that I think meant an account number: Clarence C. Herbert was "104" whenever he purchased something. This also may have meant a page number in another ledger. Perhaps the other book will be found some day.
