1902 Trade Index
The full title of this pamphlet is "Businesses, Manufacturers, Merchants, And Trademan Financial Condition for Precott County, Ontario Canada 1902"
All information gathered and edited from the Jul, 1902 R.G. Dun Mercantile agency reference book
Published by Carl Millison, Jr, Aug 2003
The pamphlet details the financial &/or credit standing of all businessmen in Prescott County. While the information is in excess of 100 years old, I will not duplicate the financial details here. Rather, I will list the businesses/businessmen found in each town, as well as give the details of each town found in the pamphlet, transcribing the symbolic shorthand.
When a new town starts, it is given in first colum, and additional details in the next (if given in pamphlet).
Businesses & Businessmen are presented in the first column followed by their trade.
I have not corrected spelling of family or place names; they are presented as found in the pamphlet.
Key to abbreviations:
C.A.R = Canada Atlantic Railway
C.P.R. = Canadian Pacific Railway
G.N.W. = Great North Western Telegraph Co
