The major part of the collection consists of correspondence, 1903-1948 (Bulk dates: 1903-1912; 1937-1945). Also included are some financial, shipping, and miscellaneous records, 1903-1948.

After the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906, several firms ordered large quantities of flour to supply the citizens of the devastated city.
