Perine Brothers' Journal

   
  
Page Description Here
   

These pages show some of the different accounts in the Perine books. Note that individuals, the "Store," the "Linen Mill," "Mfd Goods," and "Cash" are treated as distinct accounts. The journal instructed the bookkeeper where to enter transactions when posting daily entries into the ledger, and the double check marks were reminders that each transaction had been posted twice.
