BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

It is not known who compiled this group of documents.   There is, however, some evidence that at least some of the bills were referred to a collection agency or were referenced in legal cases.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

This collection consists of over two thousand bills principally representing business firms in New York City and Brooklyn.  Most of these businesses performed renovation work on city buildings, the overwhelming number of which were dwellings, both homes and apartments.  Work included carpentry, paper hanging, painting, roofing, wiring and lighting installation, decorating, plumbing, installing glass, repairing ironwork and elevators, etc.  Charges for services such as sprinkling streets with water and removal of wastes are also found.  Often the address where the work was done is indicated on the bill.  A number of the bills were made out to decedents’ estates.  Some of the estates represented are those of Mary A. Chisolm (1827-1913, widow of William Edings Chisolm; surname also misspelled as Chisholm), Frederick P. James (his widow Julia L. Butterfield was a trustee for his estate), and William C. Rhinelander.  J. Edgar Leaycraft & Co., an insurance and real estate business, appears often as a customer. 

 

Some bills are for goods, such as produce, stationery, and suits for elevator men, not at all related to renovations of buildings.  Bills to the Hoffman House, a noted hotel, include one from a rat catcher and vermin exterminator, as well as bills for hotel supplies and liquor.  L.M. Bates and Company, a fancy dry goods store in New York City, purchased a variety of goods for its business.  Several bills from English businesses to Mr. George P. Bliss are also found; several ar for bicycles, and one is for instruction in riding a bicycle.   

 

           

ORGANIZATION

 

The bills are arranged alphabetically by name of company; if the company name is a personal name, then the bill is filed under the surname (so William Allen & Company is filed under Allen, not William).
