The records of Dr. Joseph H. Delaney contain prescription numbers for eyeglasses as well as his account book from 1905-1911. A business ledger from Sebree, Ferris, and White from 1886-1887 lists sales and accounts receivable. The meat market records contain a ledger from about 1884 and includes accounts from prominent Bozeman pioneers such as Walter Cooper, Nelson Story, P. W. Bohart, W. H. Babcock, and W. W. Alderson. Also are three day books which keep a running records of sales for each day. A record of wood sales and inventory kept by Feron Mack are also found with the meat market records. Mack was a butcher in Bozeman at the turn of the 20th century. Also included in the collection are business records from three unidentified businesses. The first is an invoice list and cash sales for what appears to be a grocery or general mercantile store from 1901-1903. The second is a check register from possibly the Golden Rule Store. The third is an invoices payable book from 1906-1907. The ledger might have been donated by the Walter Cooper family and could be from his lumber business. An additional folder containing an unidentified billing register naming many Bozeman businesses and citizens from 1884-1886, and separate tax statements for the same, has been added.
