Description: 1898 John Edwards Wholesale Grocer Church Street Hanley Memo Description: This is an original 1898 business memo from John Edwards, a wholesale and family grocer, baker, and agent for the "Excursion Washer," located on Church Street in Hanley, Staffordshire. Addressed to Challinors & Shaw in Leek, the memo inquires about the timeline for resolving a matter and the anticipated dividend payment. The left margin showcases a printed list of “County Brand” specialities offered by Edwards, including jams, marmalade, teas, self-raising flour, and soaps. Background Information: John Edwards was a prominent grocer and baker in Hanley, offering a wide range of quality goods. The inclusion of branded products like "County Brand" and specialty items such as borax, magnesia, and various soaps reflects the diversity of stock typical for general stores of the late 19th century. Such businesses were essential to local communities, supplying both staple foods and household items. Condition Report: This memo is well-preserved for its age, with minor wear along the edges and a horizontal fold from previous storage. There is a small crease at the bottom left corner, but overall, the paper and text remain clear and legible. See Photos for Condition. Shipping Information: Carefully packaged in a protective sleeve to ensure safe delivery. Shipped securely in a rigid mailer to prevent bending or damage during transit.
