http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/636566949

The Pepper Manufacturing Company manufactured textile machinery, specifically hosiery and knitted underwear machinery. The records consist primarily of order books, listing the machinery sold and to whom, machinery parts sold and some repairs made, and the customer's name and location (usually city and state). The company did business with a wide range of companies geographically, ranging from the New England states to New York and Pennsylvania; Montreal and towns in Ontario, Canada; numerous mid-western states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Ohio; a company in Macon, Ga., and one in Eugene, Ore. The collection is divided into 17 volumes in 4 boxes. The records cover a period of time during which the company changed names several times, and are referred to here as the Pepper Manufacturing Company Records for the sake of simplicity.
