Collection of Dowd Printing Company ledgers and ephemera

The ledgers and ephemera that comprise this collection give insight into nearly 100 years of a commercial printing company's business transactions and reflect the changing technology of the industry. The collection contains several ledgers that detail profit and loss, with some descriptions of specific transactions. Two include a summary of the dates used and the contents. One ledger consists of handwritten copies of business correspondence from 1887-88. Two of the ledgers and three receipts, while lacking direct attribution to Dowd, are likely from the same company. Ephemera includes a newspaper clipping and a photograph of the Dowd Company's building as well as a signed check and a letter to stockholders.
