The Old Dominion Electrical Construction Company operated in Richmond, Va., during the 1890s. Maurice W. Thomas acted as the company's manager, and Maurice Hunter was its engineer. In early 1896 the company was placed under the control of receivers. Generally, receivers are neutral persons appointed by the court to receive and preserve the property in litigation and to apply or dispose issues and profits at the direction of the court.
Old Dominion Electrical Construction Company Ledger, 1895-1896, records the company's financial activities. The first part of the ledger documents the company's controlling accounts such as cash, stock, merchandise, expenses, and bills payable and receivable. The remainder of the ledger was used to record the accounts with the company's customers and creditors. Information found in each account includes date and type of transaction and monies debited or credited to the accounts.
