content: Found are sales and consignment invoices, letterpress copybooks for consignment account statements, and voluminous sales and work order forms. The sales and work order forms were filled out when sales were made or orders were taken for work such as framing, restoration, and shipping. The sales and work order forms typically include the buyer's name and address, date, form number, price, and details such as the cross-section of the frame or notations such as "DBN 21," indicating the sale was recorded in Daybook N, page 21. Each form is numbered and many bear a letter prefix. According to Wendell Zoehler, the letter "A" indicates sales by Fergus Turner; "C," Arthur McKean; and "D," Wendell Zoeller. The letter "B" is for sales of paintings and watercolors. Those represented by the letters "L," "LE," "S" are unknown. Sales by Lucius B. Peck are also represented by a letter, but it is unknown which one.

Folders are arranged alphabetically by subject. Sales and work order forms are grouped by the letter prior to the form number and filed alphabetically; forms without a letter prior to the form number are filed first. Within each group, forms are arranged in numerical order based on the form number, which corresponds loosely to chronological order. Other sales forms for Helen Plowden/William Stanley Haseltine were removed from their original location and collocated into five boxes, presumably by the gallery. The order for these forms has been retained and are filed at the end of the subseries.
