Wagon making papers, 1837-1842.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122519806

The papers in the James and Webster Wagner collection document the brothers' unsuccessful venture in the wagon-making trade. Included in this collection are a variety of business records, such as correspondence, debit-credit accounts, promissory notes, bills, and receipts. The business folded by 1842; these records show that the Panic of 1837 and subsequent economic depression probably affected their business.
