    1. [PA-LAC] Old Ledger
    2. I am hoping that there is someone out there that may be able to help me. Today at a garage sale, I bought an old ledger for a store located somewhere in Scranton (or so the seller thought). There is no store name (the first few pages are missing), but in the ledger are many names of people who bought goods (everything from clothing to groceries) on credit and then paid off little by little. The entries date from 1904-1908. There are a few clues that I found reading through the names. First, 95% of the names are Russian/Polish in origin. Second, a very few of the names have a location after them (the two places named are Simpson and Mayfield) Third, there is an entry for PETER KULINICZ or PETER KICHART (from Mayfield) who regularly bought large quantities of flour and butter...maybe a baker? Fourth, there is a street name, Paradisryn St, (at least I think its a street)but I don't know what town or locale. If the info above menas something to any of you, please let me know! Thanks! Renee
