Financial Status for Ray County, Missouri, for the Year 1929.

This booklet identifies approximately 250+ merchants , tradesmen and manufacturers, and their financial condition in Carroll County. This is fascinating local and genealogical history immediately preceding the Great Depression, which will give you great insight into what was happening in the communities and who the principal players were at the time. It is possible that many of these towns no longer exist and others have blossomed into nice size cities. All towns listed in this report are named at the bottom of the description. This information was compiled from the R. G. Dun (became Dun and Bradstreet) Mercantile Reference Book of March 1929 and was confidential information at the time of publication. The information for each listing includes the name, trade or business, financial worth, and credit rating. The photography does not do the text justice. The text is on a good grade of paper, making it easier to read than the original newsprint. Time does not allow me to respond to emails about particular listings. This report comes spiral bound in a durable manila report cover.
