1870ref. 27000105Chicago 1870s-1890s. Extensive information on growers and producers and the networks required to feed America at the time. The assumption of Chicago for the first journals is based on the bookseller labels in the journals and the accompanying letterhead. The Boston location was determined by reference to Boston based individuals in the journal and the address on the accompanying envelopes. All of these materials were found in one location without further information. A collection of five journals for Fruit Vegetable Butter and Egg Shipper Journals from the 1870s-1890s. The four larger format journals are most likely from Chicago detailing the various farms from which they received their product. Four of the journals list out each farm and their location and are believed to be from the 1870s-80s. They are accompanied by a letterhead for J. C. Wallace Commission Merchant Jobber and Shipper in Foreign and Domestic Fruits Nuts Produce etc. Chicago 1875. The titles of these four journals are: "Early Fruit and Vegetable Shippers No. 3 Bermuda Veg. Shippers" "Butter and Eggs" "Shippers of Early and Late Potatoes" and "Shippers of Blueberries Blackberries Raspberries Huckleberries Gooseberries Whortleberries Snowberries Dewberries Currants Cherries and Winter Green Berries and Elderberries". Each of these journals is approximately 120 pages long with an alphabet index tab on the side. The shippers are organized alphabetically by last name followed by their location. With the exception of the "Early Fruit and Vegetable" journal which also includes locations in Bermuda all the farming locations are from various towns all over the United States. Often within each letter there are subcategories mostly references to either 'early' or 'late' seasonal shipments. However the Berry Journal is also subdivided by individual berry type all of which were listed in the title of the journal and the Butter and Egg Journal which has the subcategories of Butter and Eggs Creamery Butter Roll Butter and Pickled Eggs. The locations are predominantly Midwest and southern states including Illinois Michigan Tennessee Louisiana Kentucky Florida Mississippi Arkansas etc. Butter and eggs journal also includes Missouri Wisconsin and Iowa.
