In 1870 Clinton H. Meneely and George H. Kimberly formed a partnership in bell manufacturing in Troy, N.Y. The firm was known as Meneely and Kimberly. In 1880 the company was reorganized as a stock company under the name of the Clinton H. Meneely Company. The company was later organized as the Meneely Bell Company and existed in Troy until the mid-twentieth century.
These records consist chiefly of ledgers, journals, and cash books detailing financial transactions of the firm. Journals and day-books provide a chronological record of receipts and expenditure whereas the ledgers record the same information by account. All entries record the date, the nature of the transaction such as items purchased or items sold, and amount.
This repository also includes the records of Meneely & Company, Watervliet (West Troy), New York (SC13434).
