Letters, orders, receipts, Jan.-Jun. 1875
Scope and Content of the Collection
Records consist of letters, orders, personal drafts and receipts kept by Enos Brown & Co., early Chicago firm dealing in manufacturing supplies for woolen mills. Most of the items were sent from companies in the Utah Territory, including the Brigham City Cooperative, Zion’s Cooperative Mercantile Institution in Salt Lake City, and Ogden, Provo, and Beaver City. Some typical supplies ordered or sold are different dyes, warps, springs, spindles and spoolers, pickers and grinders, and other parts for looms. Also, a few business items addressed to the Bowen Bros., and one 1894 letter to George S. Bowen, by now Mayor of Elgin, Illinois, and a successful railroad and real estate mogul, demanding repayment for an old debt.
