The Mercantile Agency Reference Book was a reference publication for banks and financial institutions.  This was originally produced only for use by private institutions - not for the general public - therefore, a limited number of each edition were published. They were also intended to be destroyed with each subsequent published edition.  Those factors make the Mercantile Agency Reference Book a rare resource today.  This is also a very early edition of the publication.

This listing is for an ORIGINAL COPY of the state of Vermont, comprising 10 pages of credit listings (1st page has a small mis-print, back of 10th page is blank). The information is arranged alphabetically by town and includes the name of the establishment or business owner, the type of business,  the estimated wealth of the business and its general credit rating.  (Please see pictures for sample listings.)  The original title pages are not included, but a clear copy of each will be provided.
