Piano and Organ Handwritten Manuscript Lease Record and Account Book, Traverse City, Michigan (1882-1907)

Descripción

E. W. Hastings was a prominent early Traverse City pioneer and also a dealer in "pianos, organs, sewing machines and general instruments" in Traverse City, Michigan (based on a sheet of stationary in the ledger book). He also operated a leasing business as well--this large format ledger book describes lease payments made by various individuals in and around Traverse City for his pianos and organs betweem the years 1882 and 1906. Traverse City is located in Grand Traverse County, Michigan. About 150 of the 240 pages contain records. The hand writing is all legible, and reflect a person who was meticulous in his record-keeping, probably one reason he was treasurer of the Traverse City Common Council in 1886. The leger measures 9" x 14", has a leather spine in nice condition, and cloth covered boards which are a bit worn. In all, this is an interesting example of an early mercantile record of this region in north west Michigan. ; 8vo, 8"- 9" tall; 240 pages. N° de ref. del artículo 17704
