CITY OF RUTLAND, VERMONT LIQUOR AGENCY LEDGER.

Rutland: August, 1894-July, 1895.

An intriguing item. A manuscript ledger covering almost a full year's worth 
of drinking by the good citizens of Rutland and nearby towns, with the 
particulars of who bought what, how much, and how often. Each page has 
columns for the date, name and city of residence of the purchaser and the 
total they paid, and on the facing sheet are columns with the printed 
headers: Alcohol; B. Whiskey; R. Whiskey; Gin; Med. Rum; S.C. Rum; Cherry 
Rum; F. Brandy; Cal. Brandy; Cider Brandy; B.B. Brandy; Port Wine; Sherry 
Wine; Catawba Wine; Angelica Wine; Porter; Bass Ale; Lager; and Champagne. 
The ledger is completely filled in and runs from August 14th, 1894 to July 
20th, 1895. A wonderful source of raw data for anyone interested in late 
Victorian drinking habits in New England. Hardcover. 9.5"x14", about 600 
pages; marbled endpapers; covers with some soil. [08146] $350.00
