The fonds consists of a day book of an unidentified general store, possible in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Most names in the book are from the Charlottetown area. The day book itemizes sales to individuals, companies, and institutions from 5 September 1836 to 16 June 1840. Goods sold include hardware, groceries, liquor and dry goods. The inside cover is inscribed to Mr. Robert J. B. Ayling who appears to have had the book in his possession in 1889. The volume has been cut in two and the bottom half is missing.
