c 1859-62 Account Book of a Box Maker, a Mr. Hersey or the Hersey Company, presumably Maine


Circa 1859-62 account book used by a Mr. Hersey or a firm named Hersey that manufactured boxes, presumably in Maine.

The book is approximately 6-1/4" x 4" and contains 24 pages, only four of which have handwriting on them.  It was printed by the L. S. Learned Company of Cambridgeport, Massachusetts.




Names:

Hersey, the box manufacturer, presumably in Maine

Customers, who could have been in Maine or elsewhere
Benjamin Barker
Tim Smith
Lew Hoyt
John Roberts
Phineas Hart
John Smith
Sam Gellerson
William H. Pike
Albert Hayes
Stephen W. Dearborn
Hayes & Palmer - I found a Hayes & Palmer law firm at Bangor, Maine, comprised of C. W. Hayes and
A. F. Palmer, but I don't know if they were the Hayes & Palmer indicated in the account book.


If you have a theory of the identity of Mr. Hersey or the firm Hersey or thoughts on any of the customers mentioned, please leave a comment or contact me directly.

Thanks for stopping by!
