J. Hunt's general store ledger, Juniata County, from 1859, with an index of customer accounts
1859 General Store Ledger from Juniata County Pennsylvania. Great Condition for a ledger this old. It is organized by account showing Purchases (Debits) and how the purchases or accounts were settled (Credits) often by cash or barter. This must have been an expensive ledger when purchased. It is good quality paper, that is ruled. There are 65 accounts in filling about 70% of the Account Book. It was purchased in 1859 by J. Hunt of Juniata County and used as a written record of business transactions from his store. This is from a small town near Lewistown, Mifflin County.
Here is a listing of the accounts in alphabetical order.....( I also listed the time period the account had activity and you can see many purchases were made during the civil period. This is a really clean nice ledger. The covers are still attached and the binding is in good shape. Overall good condition showing some wear.
Here is the list of customers with accounts:
