Contextual Information

This is a Store account book for January 1875. It contains a list of 233 names, each with a figure opposite showing the debt owed. Although the store had only been trading 12 years, the debt owing adds up to nearly 8,000 pounds (the clerk had stopped tallying at 7,602 pounds, 13 shillings and threepence).
The book provides very good information on who was living at Greenough (and surrounding districts) and trading with Maley.
