Hi Carol,
The list only has name, type of business and date, no addresses
unfortunately and some of the entries have only names and dates with no
reference to the nature of business.
There is nothing for Jenkins and Bennett, but there is an entry for:
Matthews and Bennett, February 4, 1879
(no reference to type of business, sorry)
Liz
