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.

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.
