content: One post bound scrapbook featuring a sampling of receipts, business records, and a few advertising pieces. There is the occasional appearance of print images depicting local buildings, places of worship, and meeting houses. Records included correspondence related to local Albany vendors for goods and services, with many items shipped to Schenectady. A number of receipts relate to purchases made by M. B. Callaghan; purchases by the Albany Penitentiary are also present. Of note: a letter to Hon. Martin H. Glynn (1900 March 20) from John T. Brady referencing Mr. Brady's request for help finding a copy of the bookGrowth of Industrial Art[a copy of this book can be found in the Warshaw Addendum Subseries 01.01.141, Early Trades and Professions materials]. Most receipts inserted with photo corners with some items missing.
