Collection Organization
This microfilmed collection documents financial transactions of the W. H. Wheeler Fish Company of Selkirk, Ontario for 1905-1938, 1950-1951. Researchers seeking information on the expenses and profits involved in Great Lakes commercial fishing for the early twentieth century would find the detail of the account records useful. Wage information would assist examination of labor conditions in Ontario. Changes in species of fish caught, and in the quantities harvested, reflect ecological shifts in Lake Erie marine life.
Information appears in the form of ledgers that combine Day Book, Cash Sales and Financial Journal headings. Entries were made on a daily basis throughout each year.
