Collection Organization

Financial Records for the J. A. Paisley and Morrow Steamship Companies are the complete content of this collection. The records date from 1922 to 1953. The majority of these files are in the series of Vessel Expense Vouchers for the Paisley company. Dating from 1952-1953, these files document daily expenditures involved in operating the vessels in the fleet.

The remaining part of the collection contains three ledgers for the Paisley and Morrow companies. Wage expenses are recorded in separate volumes for each company from 1943-1953. The ledgers contain employee names and wages. A ledger with general financial information for the Morrow company completes the collection. The years 1922-1948 are covered in this volume of accounts for payments regarding companies with which Morrow conducted business. Letters and invoices appear for mining companies, towing services, grocers, and other businesses.
