content: This series contains bookkeeping, correspondence, census, insurance, and financial records which account for the company as a whole.  It is organized into seven subseries:  Book for recording devices on hand, November 1927-January 1929; Correspondence, 1926-1951; Census, 1947-1963, 1980; Insurance Inventory, 1956; Royalties Accrued, January 1946-March 1951; Time Records, 1952, 1954, 1958; and Notes, undated.

The correspondence between Charles and Otis Brannock reflects the strong business relationship which existed between father and son.  Charles Brannock put Florence Williams in charge when he was vacationing each July from 1928 to 1931.  The often humorous correspondence between them reflects daily business at the factory.  Correspondence with Dr. Joseph Levyfield, chairman of the National Foot Health Council, pertains to children's foot exams in schools.
