Presented are two commercial documents originating from Hey & Company of Rochester, Monroe County, New York. The first, an invoice dated February 17, 1906, details a transaction with the A.G. Dewey Co. of Quechee, Windsor County, Vermont, involving the shipment of five bales of wood clips. The invoice specifies a quantity of 4,127 clips priced at 10 1/2 cents each, resulting in a total charge of $433.34. This information is recorded in period ink script. A company stamp, dated March 7, 1906, and the designation \"PAID\" are also present. The invoice is imprinted with the names of corporate officers E.C. Hazard, Geo. R. Coates, and John Bennett. The form itself is attributed to the Baker-Vawter Co. of Chicago and New York, manufacturers of business systems and manifold forms.The second document is a receipt dated March 1, 1909, printed on Hey & Company stationery. The receipt exhibits wear, including fading and creasing, along with handwritten notations. Partial notations, including the numbers 801, 108, and 803, are visible. A circled \"P\" or \"D\" is also present, presumably indicating a bookkeeping notation for payment or processing. These documents provide a record of wholesale trade, logistical operations, and financial transactions between businesses in the Northeastern United States during the early 1900s, reflecting the business practices of the period through their combination of standardized printed forms, stamped impressions, and manuscript entries.
