The materials contain balance sheets, general accounting ledgers, job insurance payments to the state of Massachusetts, tax documents, correspondence with the Internal Revenue Service, payroll records (overtime and vacation pay), inventories,  and check stubs primarily from the Wellesley National Bank and the South Shore National Bank. The check stubs provide information on the amount paid and for what.  For example, on October 15, 1970, Dowd wrote a check to R.M. Bradley for parking spaces in the amoun of $30.00. The reverse side of the check stubs also contains annotated information about deposits made, balance forward amounts, and other notes.
