Transcriber’s introduction:  The books of R.M. Rains were kept for his business. The people listed in the books either bought goods from him, did work for him or he purchased good from them. I know nothing about this business nor the people listed. I just hope it might give someone a lead on their family. One book says Brownsville and another says Ripley, so I’m listing this in both counties. Some of the writing was hard to read as these books have been in a shed for many years.<\/p>\n

Notations:<\/p>\n

September 4, 1910 Robert Taylor and James Scott have this day extended into partenership for the purpose of ? in the furniture and carpet business. The name of the company is to be Taylor & Scott and the gains and losses to be
\nshared equally.<\/p>\n

March 9, 1912 Agreement and Contract Louis Manard has this day agrees to work for R.M. Rains until the crop of 1912 is layed by for the season of $15.00 per month and said Rains is to pay said Manard at the end of each month.
\nSigned: R.M. Rains
\nLouis Manard<\/p>\n
