McCulloughs Dry Goods Store, Campbellsport

You never know what will turn up when you are cataloging books.  This week, I was cataloging a box of business ledgers, and most of the old books did not have a company name in them.

Then I came across one, where the names on the ledger sounded like familiar names from the Campbellsport area, and I had to check deeper

This is a ledger from Jas. McCullogh, who sold Dry Goods, Groceries, Boots and Shoes, Crockery and Glassware.  The entries start on Jan. 1, 1884.

The page on the left shows an entry for Nick Gantner.  He purchased 2 lb. sugar, 1/2 gal. molasses, 2 spools of thread, and 2 pieces of candy.....all for 51 cents.

Here is a list of some of the surnames that are found in the 1884 ledger for Jas. McCullough's store in Campbellsport:  (see previous post)
