Author Description

Excerpt from The Mercantile Agency Reference Book, for the British Provinces, 1865, Vol. 2: Containing Ratings of the Principal Merchants, Traders, and Manufacturers in the Canadas, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island The first column is intended to represent, as nearly as the scale will admit, the worth of a person, - not only capital in business, but all property in possession above indebtedness. It has no relation to the second column, except so far as capital or property is a qualification for credit. All who are worth less than 82000 are left blank in this column.
