Shopping Stories Transcription Project - Invoice Book (Inventories)

When Robert Townsend Hooe initially opened his store in 1770 in Alexandria, Virginia, with his partner Frederick Stone, they created an Invoice Book to document all the raw material the store exported and the goods they imported to make available for sale in the store. This book continued to be used as Hooe changed partners to Daniel Jenifer and later to Richard Harrison. When the store partnership changed, an inventory of the store's assets was taken and this collection focuses on those inventories.
