Boone & Wright of Bodie: one check and two receipts
1) Check to D. W. Earl & Company. Check reads Gilbert Clements, 318 Front Street, San Francisco. Dated 1881. 2) Receipt dated 1880. 3) Receipt dated 1880 for barley valued at $320. Boone and Wright became partners in 1879. In 1880 they erected an immense stable (hence the need for barley), along the west side of their corral. Like many merchants they had a fire proof building in addition to their store. We are not sure how long this partnership lasted, but in 1884 Boone purchased another store for his business, so Boone and Wright had probably gone their separate ways by then. (Ames Collection)
