Scope and content
The collection is comprised of a single ledger and a folder containing a business card and invitation to the 1905 Golden Jubilee celebration in Flint. The ledger records purchases for various products made between 1868 and 1904. The card was used to represent Emmet Simpson’s Barber Shop. A photo is on the front. No caption is present to identify the person in it. The card is unusual in that it is shaped like an arrowhead.
