Jacob Haish Company invoices

These invoices from the Jacob Haish Company were shared with us by Shawn Rogers. These are from a machinery dealer and repair shop in Newark, Illinois. The shop was started in 1911 and the owner bought from most companies in northern Illinois, Rogers said. So much can be learned from some simple receipts and invoices!
