B609/2/I

Seed Barley and other Sales, 1904-78

This sub-section mainly consists of records documenting sales of seed barley and related products to farmers. Sales books note date, grower number, name, address, number of barrels, weight, price, total, and type of barley (e.g., malting or grinding barley and, later, varieties). Related products include coal dust, barley dust, oats, and fertilisers. The sales books are followed in the sub- section by sales files, price summaries, and fertiliser sale records. A few sales files also document the payment of commission to the Plant Royalty Office on seed sales (B609/2/I/27-29). While these sales records contain financial information, they primarily document sales to growers, the harvested crop in most cases being sold back to JHB [see B609/2/J, below]. For this reason, these records are not placed in the Financial Records section, but see also sales ledgers in that section (B609/3/C/45-56).
