CC is now paying taxes on two public service automobiles in the city of
Fulton, one at $3.00 and one at $5.00
which totals $8.00 for me, rather than the $8.50 total on the bill.
Apparently, CC's taxi service has expanded. I never find any indication
of a second driver, however.

CC received stuff by train from Chicago. This particular shipment
suggests that CC was now purchasing his auto tires in bulk. He also
bought a box of wheat flakes and a box of "notions". The whole thing
weighed 85 pounds. One assumes that most of that weight was in tires
rather than wheat flakes and notions. I wonder what a notion is.
The shipping statement was corrected from $38 to $54 for the same weight
and CC owed $16 on arrival.

In July Chris is still buying tires from BH Jameson. Photo of Mr.

Chris charged a tire for $10 from someone. Note the "Hoffmann" variation
on the name.

Not much left of this one. Note the cavalier way Chris used a check form
from one bank to write a check on another bank. Ah, those were the days.
Notice also that Chris signs his own name with one "f". My dad had the
same handwriting, by the way. CC bought a hundred gallons of gasoline at a
time for $18.50 which is 18-1/2 cents per gallon.

Noticed a few things looking at this. The check was made out in blank,
the payee filled in his own name. The check would go to anyone, it
includes the word "Bearer". That encourages mail robbery, since checks
mailed would be easily usable by whoever has the check in hand.

Can't get much from this one.

Check to B. H. Jameson or Bearer on The Callaway Bank.

I guess CC used the back of his canceled and returned check, see above, as
scratch paper to record yet another tire order from Jameson. Note the use
of the word "tire" rather than "case" and "tube". Note the word "Ford".
CC never had a Ford, did he? Did Ford make tires under that name?

Careful reading of this one suggests that CC had gasoline delivered
somewhere in quantity from a truck with a driver who had to keep records.
This one shows that the Driver delivered 130 gallons of gasoline at 18-1/2
cents per gallon.

CC apparently returned a tire to Montgomery Ward in Chicago. He paid the IRS one
penny "Document Tax", it looks like.
