Beaded agenda book used by a Swedish immigrant ca. 1900-1915

Leather 18mo. Cracking to inner hinges with abrasion to endpapers, occasional clipped or edge-torn leaves. Beaded punchwork monogram mounted to the cover with some chipping and loss to the beads, but a charming item. Little pencil loop at rear!

Used ca. 1900 noting weekly takings and expenses dating up to 1915. The contents suggest it belonged to a Swedish man living in Massachusetts with 2 daughters, or a wife and daughter, Hilda and Ruth. With an interesting collection of addresses: Mass. Council for the Abolition of the Death Penalty, Swedish National Sanatorium in Colorado, Mass. Sunday School Association, Boy Scouts, Eastern Press (Boston), Police Superintendent B.J. Costello, Red Cross, Rev. Arthur B. Strickland, Carl E Carlson, AEF chemical warfare service.
