Description: | These ledgers record particulars of sales made by the firm to customers. Ledgers are sub-divided by department, but all follow the same format. Sales are set out in date order, and entries include the name and address of the customer, particulars of the goods supplied and their weight and cost, and details about how the items were to be transported, together with any special instructions, and the name of the person or organisation who was to receive the goods. Entries also give details of the folio reference of the customer accounts ledger to which they were posted. The sales ledgers provide an insight into the day-to-day business sales activities of the company, and allow the comparison of sales of different products over the same time period. There are no indexes.
The ledgers have been sampled on a five yearly basis, beginning when the extant series did, in 1934. Ledgers from 1960 have also been kept, because this was the last year of the series. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1934-1960 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
