Singer Manufacturing Company Records, 1850-circa 1975

Container Title
U.S. Mss AI
Subseries: Loose Records
Scope and Content Note: For the most part, the unbound financial records consist of source documents used in accounting. These were retained only for the 1850s because of the importance of documenting the company's earliest years and because of the scarcity of other documentation for this period. Included are paid bills, cash vouchers, monthly statements from companies with whom Singer did business, and occasional monthly accounts from agents. Also included is a separate file of accounts from the Philadelphia agent, some payroll sheets (undated, but probably from the 1850s), some promissory notes, and accounting sheets apparently concerning bills receivable at the Gloversville office.
