This is a collection of 50 volumes (daybooks, original entry daybooks, cash books, journals, and ledgers) and miscellaneous business records of the La Grandeur Mercantile Company which operated the general merchandise and grocery store in Somerset, Wisconsin.
The original entry daybooks in the collection are labeled as: “[La Grandeur?] Original Daybooks.” Beginning with the later volumes, the entries in the original daybooks were recopied into the permanent daybooks (see volumes 3 and 4). The numerals written in ink to the left of each entry on every page of the last volumes of the original daybooks refer to the folio entries recopied into volumes 3 and 4.
