This is an account ledger of a general store operated by T. J. Norman, probably at Winona in Shannon County, Missouri.  The entries begin in 1890 and continue through 1901.  The vol­ume concludes with an inventory of the stock of T. J. Norman as sold to Trammell & Miller on 8 April 1902.

 

The volume is a standard account ledger showing charges to, and payments on, ac­counts for dry goods, groceries, and farm supplies.  Most of the accounts are for individuals, but the Carter Lumber Company and the firm of Church & Kissell were frequent customers.  The entries begin on 15 December 1890.  There are no entries for 1892-1894, but they resume on 1 January 1895 and continue through 7 February 1901.  Norman sold his stock to Trammell & Miller on 8 April 1902.

 

This ledger was once part of the collection of the Jackson County Historical Society (Mo.).  It was deaccessioned in 1981.
