The first part showed an account for the wool purchased from different individuals, the account being debited for acquisitions and credited for wool put into process by both grades and quantities(in pounds). The balance was the wool unprocessed. The second part of the warehouse ledger was a manufactory record or account, in which the wool carried to manufacturing was recorded on the debit side, while the credits showed the finished product, which was in turn transferred to what we call now a finished goods ledger.
