The merchant firm compensated contributing producers with advance credits until it received sales funds.
Summary:     The collection contains volumes recording cotton or tobacco received from labor farmers, the names of vessels upon which the produce was shipped, and amount and type of goods that were later conveyed to the local inhabitants. Each labor farmer entered their unique proprietary mark next to the number of bales received.
