This fonds consists of an unidentified notebook chronicling a salt and molasses wholesale shipping business through the 1926-1940 time period. The molasses was imported from Barbados, with the salt coming from the "Turks Islands" and several other locations. The creator of this fonds is unknown but possibly Carvell Brothers, a Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, shipping agent.

Notebook entries list the year, the type of vessel (schooner or steamer), the name of the vessel, the Captain, how and when the vessel was chartered, detailed notes on the trip in question, the condition of the cargo, the discharge of the cargo, stevedore operations, cargo insurance, and various other comments on the shipment transaction in question. There are approximately 3 to 4 shipments described per year with no entries for 1936 and 1938.

This item is a store ledger from an unknown location in Prince Edward Island. Though the specific origin of this ledger is unknown, some entries for individuals include place names. The localities given are primarily found in Prince County and include "Muscough" (Miscouche?), "Lot 16" (Central Lot 16), Grand River, Egmont Bay, "Murdecreek" (Muddy Creek?), and French Village (Queens County).

The fonds contains an account book, inscribed "Brush Book," which lists purchases made by the lumber dealer's clients, most of whom are identified as living in Queens County, Prince Edward Island.
