LIQUOR AGENCY, 1857 - 1904

Primarily consists of three daybooks kept by the agent. Each daybook contains entries for purchases. Each purchase entry includes the name of the buyer, type of liquor or alcohol, amount, and cost. In the earliest daybook (1885-1888) the sales were listed as either medicinal, bathing, culinary, cleaning, or utility. Housed with the first daybook is one folder containing several receipts, including one for the purchase of liquor from a New York... importer. NOTE: It appears that the earliest daybook was later used as a personal record book. Sales receipts written to the Cobb family are pasted on the pages, often covering the original text. The receipts are from the early 1900s.
