General ledgers, 1903-1914: The ledgers are arranged by account and chronologically thereunder. Each is divided into two sections: one listing dates and amounts of transactions under general headings such as salary, repairs, supplies, raw material, profit and loss, etc.; and a second giving the same basic information for the companies with which Reedsburg did business. Within each section arrangement is by account and chronologically thereunder. Each volume is indexed.

General Journals, 1903-1918, 1954-1962: The early volumes (1903-1918) are arranged chronologically by month and list expenditures by category such as labor, freight, supplies, repairs, raw material, etc. Also included are annual summaries of expenditures. The later journals are divided into a cash receipts and sales record, and a check register and purchase record. The receipts and sales segment lists credits under the following headings: accounts receivable, due from H.A. Caesar and Company (factors for Reedsburg goods), ^[1] cash on hand, scrap sales, mill outlet sales, direct sales, and factored sales. Debits are also broken down by accounts including sales returned, adjustments allowed, discounts allowed, freight, and factoring expense. The check register and record segment is a chronological listing of expenditures under categories such as wages, discounts lost, and several classifications of raw materials and supplies.

Purchase Journals, 1935-1956: These annual volumes provide a detailed breakdown of expenditures under approximately twenty accounts including wool oil, dyes, chemicals, raw material, fuel, carding supplies, weaving supplies, new equipment, new construction, and cloth purchased. Each entry shows the date, source, items purchased, and price.

Sales Invoices, 1902-1966: Due to a lack of records documenting Reedsburg's sales and customers, a sample of sales invoices has been preserved. The invoices, which are arranged chronologically, show the customer's name, date, description of the goods, and price, and also indicate if the goods were sold through the company's New York agent, W.A. Landry Company. The 1902-1954 invoices are in volumes and each volume has an index to customers' names. The sample represents approximately one-fifth of the original invoices. All others were destroyed.

Weekly Financial Reports, 1954-1958: These reports list amount of liabilities including accounts payable, notes payable, and interest; and amount of assets including accounts receivable, amount due from the H.A. Caesar Company, stock at Caesar and cash in bank. Also included is the total value of each week's shipments.

Cost of Production Reports, 1946-1961: The reports show a weekly breakdown by department of the total pounds or yards produced, total cost including wages and supplies, and the cost per unit of output.

Inventories, 1954-1956, 1960-1964: The content of the inventories varies. Generally they include amounts and descriptions of raw materials, dyes, supplies, and goods in progress. Those from the 1950's also show a dollar value of goods and supplies on hand.
