Description

Thirty-five volumes containing entries listing jobs completed by the Press with job number, customer and brief description of job and number of copies, and itemized charges. The first eighteen volumes each have alphabetical indexes of customer names at their fronts; subsequent volumes (for jobs 8232-17910, dating from 1916-1949) do not have individual indexes, and instead share one typescript alphabetical index of customer name and corresponding job number.

Note: Volumes 122-125 are disbound and boxed.
