Scope and Contents

Scrapbook three contains a selection of papers of Louis Teich as owner and operator of Teich's General Store and the Leeds Post Office for the earliest decade of the twentieth century. Of note are invoices of the Catskill Electric Railway Company for books of tickets sold by the General Store - specifically "School Tickets" for students who used the trolley to get from Leeds to Catskill during the winter months.

Also within are miscellaneous invoices of local, regional, and national businesses and wholesalers for everything from hardware to chocolate. Lastly there are also insured parcel and shipping tags bearing cancellation stamps which were kept on file by Louis Teich as postmaster for unknown reasons. Many of these tags bear the name of local residents.
