This series contains records of McPherson Brothers raisin business from 1884 until just after the collapse of the Southern California land boom. The bulk of the materials consists of cash books and disbursements, account books, and a time register/payroll of grape pickers, all of which give the names of workers, the hours they worked, and the amounts they were paid. The series also includes a box label and handbills for McPherson Brothers, as well as extracts (all but one typed) by William McPherson from the Santa Ana Herold, 1886-1889, of entries referring to McPherson Brothers and the raisin industry.
