Collection Organization
The George E. Hersh Lumber Company records consist primarily of the operating ledgers and account books of a small town lumber company from the late 19th and early 20th century. While there are some date gaps in each record series, it is possible to track specific building projects and accounts. Some specific accounts include projects for the Grand Rapids School Board, Farmers Elevator Company, Azor Thurston, A. Pilliod, and the Grand Rapids Ball Team (to build stands).
The ledgers and day books provide general information on the date of services, general description and amount due. The order books (sawmill books) give more detailed information on the materials ordered, including dates, amounts, sizes, and occasionally the project name.
