Stock Department

In theory the Stock Department handled all records of stock held by the firm, its clients and individual members of the family. In 1908, however, it was felt that more complete records were being kept by the Private Accounts Department. It is possible that the two sets of records were merged, and the ones listed below originated in one of two departments. This would account for the fact that some of the series run concurrently. Other stock records may be found within Accounts Current.
