Abstract:

Business, family, and household account books, 1863-1896, kept by Chicago industrialist Cyrus McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, and bills, receipts, and statements, 1859-1891. The account books contain entries showing speculation in railroads, mineral lands, and other properties. Order stubs for the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company are present for 1880-1884. Check stubs, bills, receipts, and commercial account statements concern chiefly household expenses, clothing, and travel. Volumes 2-7 and 14-22 are from years in which the McCormicks lived in New York.
