- Scope & Content
- File consists of two expense and accounting books pertaining to the Crag and Canyon newspaper and the William Andison General Store in Calgary. Item LUX/III/D/22 is titled "Contract Notes" and contains records for newspaper advertisement orders; 8 pages are annotated by Banff business owners, including notes by photographers G. and W. Fear and grocer Dave White. Item LUX/III/D/23 contains accounting records for the William Andison General Store between May 1936 and December 1937.
- Notes
- Pages in item LUX/III/D/22 originally printed under the name Calgary Herald and partially filled date slots reading "189_"; some pages have annotations correcting the company name to the "Craig + Canyon", the location as Banff, and some have corrected the year to "1902". Presumably the book was originally intended for use by the Calgary Herald between 1890 and 1899, but was later repurposed for the Crag and Canyon.
