The company was formed on 7 February 1885 at a meeting conducted at the city clerks office in Staunton, Va., by a group of citizens wishing to organize a building and loan association. Early officers of the company included M. Erskine Miller, president; John W. Stout, vice president; and Newton Argenbright, secretary. Later presidents included A. C. Gordon and J. N. McFarland. The company suspended operations and began a long process of voluntary liquidation in December of 1898.","The Augusta Perpetual Building and Loan Company Business Records, 1885-1907, consists of three daybooks, five cashbooks, four letter books, two ledgers, one index, one minute book, one statement book, two Bills Payable and Bills Receivable Account Books, and one stock receipt book.","Daybooks, 1885-1890, 1890-1897, and 1897-1906, document business activities on a chronological basis as they occurred. Entries include date, account name, type of transaction, and monies credited and debited. Transactions recorded include real estate loans, costs of sales, stock values and stock purchases, interest due on individual accounts, profits and loss statements, and expenses such as insurance, taxes, and fines. Records of stock purchases contain the name of buyer, the dollar amount of stock purchased, and the entrance fees applied to the purchase.","Cashbooks, 1885-1887, 1887-1888, 1888-1893, 1894-1902, and 1902-1907, record cash received and cash disbursed. Transactions are listed chronologically as they occurred. Entries document monies credited and debited for such activities as bills received, costs of sales,and interest paid on accounts. Other entries track monies received and dispersed on individual accounts for dues and running shares, loans, interest, fines, and stock transfers. Company expenses were recorded for items such as employee salaries, taxes paid, rent, commissioners' fees, insurance premiums, attorney fees, advertising, and postage.","Letter Books, 1886-1891, 1891-1895, 1895-1900, and 1900-1902, provide a record of out-going correspondence related to the company's business activities. Letter topics include requests for account balances to be paid, demands for the sale of land or property to settle a debt, and details of monies received and owed on individual accounts. The majority of the letters are signed by W. T. McCue, who was identified as the cashier for the company; however a few were signed by Taylor Bissell, a clerk for the company.","Ledger, 1889-1898, records the accounts of \"holders of paid up stock.\" Each entry includes the date, number of stock shares bought or sold, and the amounts debited or credited to the account. If stock shares were recorded as sold, the name of the buyer was listed in the transaction.","Ledger A, 1885-1907, records the accounts of individual stockholders and individual loan holders. Information found in the accounts of individual stockholders include the date of transaction and the amounts of stock purchased. Transactions in the accounts of individual loan holders document the loan purchase amount, interest fees, and fines. Payments on the accounts were also recorded and were made either with cash or redeemed stock. Some accounts include notations of actions taken on the account such as paid in full, case in litigation, or property sold at auction. The back of the ledger includes a totaling of representative accounts such as bills receivable, capital stock, subscribed stock, redeemed stock, expenses, and cash accounts. Account entries concerning stock include the name of the purchaser along with the amount of stock purchased.","Index to Loans and General Accounts, 1885-1907, provides an index to the individual accounts found in Ledger A.","Minute Book, 1885-1903, records the meetings of the company's board of directors and meetings of the stockholders. Early entries in February of 1885 document the formation of the building and loan association and the creation of a constitution and by-laws for the government of the company. These early meetings also established stock prices and membership fees and elected officers and committee members. Business statements for the company were presented to the board of directors on a semi-annual basis. These statements documented the profits and loses of the company and documented such items as stock subscriptions, loans on real estate, stock dues, bills receivable, bills payable, loss and gain records, and company resources and liabilities. Applications to redeem stock and applications for loans on real estate were presented for approval at meetings. Because the company's constitution stipulated that \"stockholders must be a white person,\" several meetings discussed the \"legal right of the association to make loans to colored people through the intervention of a white applicant.\" It was ultimately decided that to protect the company both the white applicant and the colored borrower should execute the bond for loans. In December of 1898, a resolution was recommended to stockholders that the company suspend operations as a building and loan company and that it was in the best interest of the company to go into voluntary liquidation, collect the company's assets, and return money to stockholders. Meetings held  from 1899 to 1903 concern the liquidation of the business.","Statement Book, 1886-1898, records the financial statements of the company at the end of each fiscal year beginning in December of 1886. The statement book was used by the committee appointed by the Board of Directors to examine the company's books and papers. The business statements document stock accounts, loans, interest due and unpaid on accounts, and fines unpaid for each fiscal year. The stock accounts and loan account statements include the name of the individual shareholder, the number of shares bought or sold, and the monies debited or credited to the accounts. For each fiscal year, balance sheets provide the company's profits and loss statements and include a list of resources (loans, bills receivable, cash, property) and liabilities (stock dues, bills payable).","Bills Payable and Bills Receivable Account Books, 1887-1895 and 1885-1906, were used to record both the money owed by the building and loan company and the money owed to the company by customers and shareholders. Both of the account books contain two separate halves -- one for bills payable and the other for bills receivable. Each entry includes the date, name of the customer or shareholder, and the bank where the payments were made. For bills payable, the company which is owed money to is noted along with the name of the building and loan employee responsible for the transaction. Some entries note that full statements of the accounts can be found in the accompanying letter books.","Stock receipt book, 1889-1898, includes duplicate stock certificates kept for the company's records of stock shares purchased. Each stock certificate includes a certificate number, date, name of buyer, and the number of shares purchased.","State Records Center - Archives Annex, Library of Virginia","Augusta Perpetual Building and Loan Company.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Augusta Perpetual Building and Loan Company Business Records, 1885-1907"],"collection_ssim":["Augusta Perpetual Building and Loan Company Business Records, 1885-1907"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["Augusta County (Va.)

The company's principle office was located on property that was once part of the Elizabeth Furnace in Augusta County. Elizabeth Furnace was built in 1836 at the entrance to Fort Valley and was originally called Fort Furnace. In 1862, the furnace was leased by Tredegar Iron Works in order to supply pig iron for the Confederate war effort. After 1869 the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad ran along the furnace property. In 1874, the Elizabeth Iron Company took control over a portion of the property from Henry Forrer and the heirs of Daniel Forrer. Early officers of the company included Michael G. Harman, president; A. B. Quick, treasurer; J. Fred Effinger, secretary; and Hugh W. Sheffey, chairman of the board. The company was plagued with financial troubles throughout its short history and was forced to sell off its property in 1876.","Elizabeth Iron Company Minute Book, 1874-1876, records the meetings of the company's board of directors and the meetings of its stockholders. The first meeting, held in May of 1874, discussed the need to \"adopt regulations, rules, and by-laws for the government\" of the company and to decide the \"conduct of its business.\" Early meetings also discuss the purchase of the Elizabeth Furnace property and the need to raise funds to facilitate the improvement of the property and to acquire additional equipment so that the company can reach its goal of producing forty to sixty tons of pig iron per day. Later meetings include a written copy of the adopted by-laws, a listing of duties for officers, and the rules and requirements for stockholders.","Presentations of the statement of operations are included in the minutes of several meetings.

The operations reports give the amount of funds necessary to manage the company successfully, and one such report recommends that the board of directors put a first mortgage on the portion of the property to which they own clear title. Comments in the meeting also concern the then current low price of pig iron throughout the country that had caused many furnaces to cease production, but the board believed that the Elizabeth Iron Company could produce pig iron cheaper than any other furnace in Virginia. Later meetings document the mortgage that the company received from the Citizens National Bank of Baltimore.","Many meetings provide information about various court suits brought against the company for its debt and liens on the Furnace property.
