http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/a/Athens_Boiler_and_Machine_Works.html

The Athens Boiler and Machine Works was formed from companies that started in Athens, Ga., around 1848. In 1972, the company moved to Elberton, Ga. It ceased operations in 1994. The collection includes correspondence, financial records, pictures, and other records of Athens Boiler and Machine Works in Athens, Ga. Correspondence chiefly concerns buying and selling goods, including such matters as giving or receiving price quotations or settling questions regarding invoices. In the 1930s, most correspondence is with other companies in Georgia and concerns selling shot wheels, emery rings, or buffers, or buying engines or felt. During World War II, much correspondence concerns selling boilers. There are also records relating to government agencies and requirements, including the Office of Price Administration, the Office of Defense Transportation, and the War Production Board. In 1944 and 1945, there are many letters to and from school systems about boilers for canning plants. There is also correspondence with several boiler, burner, and granite organizations, including the American Monument Association. There are also ledgers, financial statements, daily journals, inventories, price lists, purchase orders, and other financial records, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, 1935-1986. Other records are chiefly related to advertising and promotion of products. Scattered personnel records relate to employees, employment policies, pay, and benefits. There are also pictures of boilers, polishing wheels, machinery, and aerial photographs of an unidentified industrial area.
