Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. The Castlecomer Co-op a/c book has just 5pp. with mss.text and with Mrs. Quigley's a/c details from May - August, 1921. Her accounts with M.Kelly who has premises at 14, Vernon Street and 39, Prospect Street, Belfast are in two hardback green covered account books. They are unpaginated, but each have about 78pp. with itemised details of her expenditure from May 1925 - October, 1926. There is no address for Mrs.Quigley in Castlecomer. However she lived at 17 Prospect Street in Belfast. So it is likely that her dealings with Kelly were with their Prospect Street premises. There are some recipes and other notes towards the end of the first Bekfat book, but the account details from the first book to the second one are consecutive. Kelly has signed and dated over postage stamps on occasion when a balance was cleared in the second book.

Single sheet, 27 x 22.5 cm. approx. §Broadside announcing the commencement of James Hewat in business in the former premises of Mr. Tait, wine-merchant.
