Container Title
Series: Unbound Material
Scope and Content Note: This unbound material consists of letters and other business records. The letters deal with a wide range of subject matter relating to routine lumbering affairs. In Box 1 are letters arriving at the Chicago office of Holt and Balcom between 1879 and 1887; and in Box 2 are letters of the Holt Lumber Company arriving at both the Chicago and Oconto offices between 1900 and 1902. Records in Boxes 3 and 4 deal with a variety of topics. There is no continuity, and few topics are treated in detail. Most of these records pertain to the Holt Lumber Company and its subsidiaries, but the Miscellaneous accounts cover both Holt and Balcom and the Holt Lumber Co.
