This collection contains account books of Creed Fulton Flanary, a general store merchant in Wise County, Virginia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection includes three daybooks, in which the store's transactions were recorded in chronological order, providing for each transaction the customer's name, date of transaction, goods purchased, and prices. Within the last daybook are entries for a separate millinery account from 1906 to 1908. Also included in the collection are five ledgers, in which the same information was entered, but with the account information recorded under the customers' names. The final volume records only the customer names, references to other ledgers, and account balances.
