Home Business Correspondence, 1911-1926

Letters written to Mrs. Hanger and Miss Elizabeth Hanger concerning transactions, ordered goods, and payment of those goods or store credit. A large amount of these letters request the settlement of store credit. These letters offer a look at the way business, and especially debt collection, was handled during this time. The letters are civil, never threatening, and refreshing in their straight-forward politeness. It may be noted that most letters asking for payment are followed by a letter thanking the recipient for payment received.
