Scope and Contents Note
Invoices and business correspondence (1887-1898) of Placido Pastor, a Mexico City purchasing and shipping agent for wheat, corn, sugar, unfermented maguey juice, and brandy from haciendas in the states of Mexico, Puebla, and Morelos. Suppliers frequently invoiced include individuals from the Araoz, Cortina, Espinosa, Fernández, Garcés, Lavie, and Sanz families, who were members of the Compañía Expendedora de Pulques; Juan Pagaza; Joaquín García Icazbalceta; and Luis García Pimentel.
