content: Sales Records, dating from 1923 to 1982, include sales reports, sales records related to dealers, a dealer list and a salesman's informational packet.  Monthly sales reports are available for the years 1933 1939 and 1951 1961.  Yearly sales reports are available for the years 1923 1926 and 1929 1933.

On the back of the sheets which comprise the sales reports are salesmen's cost sheets which lay out in tabular form the salesman's name, his salary, and commission for the years 1925 1933.  Additionally, on the back of these sheets are advertising expense and results reports for 1930 1937.

What has been characterized as a salesman's information packet includes informational or fact sheets, sales presentation aids which could also be used as handouts, motivational literature, and a sales territory map of northern New Jersey probably belonging to a salesman named Robinson.
