http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/319547626

Account book of shoe manufacturer Francis Dane, of Hamilton and Danvers, MA. Dane rose quickly in the Massachusetts shoe industry in large part because he originated a new type of brogan, which was received with much favor by the Southern planters to be worn by the colored people. Dane's accounts detail the arrangements through which he guaranteed himself a steady supply of hides and leathers from sources in Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Entries include quantities, prices, types of leathers, as well as credit accounts paid in cash and interest bearing notes.

One account book 8.25" X 13.25" plus 1 loose page and 2 loose papers. 352 pages.
