Doak Hardware Ledgers

I found this book several years ago at a local antique shop and have scanned all the pages of the ledger. It lists the name of the person buying, what they purchased and the cost. It is so interesting to see the prices and an entry for "horses shod .50".

I was not sure originally which hardware this store was from, however, found a receipt in the back of the book for Doak Hardware. The book lists the day of the month and on page 3 it references "Feb 2". On Page 57 the date at top of page is August 1, 1925 so feel safe in saying the ledger is Doak Hardware's ledger from 1925.

Doak Receipt

It is so interesting so look at the names and the entries for what was purchased. I will list the people identified on each page so that it can indexed and searched. Below are the first 20 pages. There are approximately 50 pages and will add those at a later date.
