Description
The collection contains records of the Eliot Farmers' Union, a store in Eliot, Maine, owned and operated by John W. Staples. The store seems to have been in existence from 1915 to 1946 and sold grain, flour, and groceries. Very little information is available about John Staples; a town census taken in 1904 lists a John W. Staples as a farmer in Eliot.
