The C H. Miller Store Records collection contains the records of a general store in Marengo County, Alabama, from 1891-1908. The collections consists of ledgers, daybooks, correspondence, and miscellaneous materials from Miller’s business. These records offer an opportunity to see how a business was run over a century ago, as well as the prices of goods at that time. Pictured is a sample page of one of the ledgers, listing the goods purchased by one family, together with the price of each.
