The Infamous Black Bird Southern Oregon History, Revised


J. S. Howard Store Ledger
A clients' name index to a ledger with entries January 18, 1889 through January 24, 1891, archived by the Southern Oregon Historical Society.
   

The entries are in a feminine hand--almost certainly one of Howard's daughters'--with the occasional bookkeeping marginalia in J. S. Howard's handwriting. His store at the time was at 120 East Main Street, Medford, Oregon.
   
See the notes on his merchandise at the bottom of the page. Compare with the ledger from his 1875-1878 Jacksonville store, annotated here.
