Abstract | Rose's Stores, Inc., owned by Variety Wholesalers, Inc., of Henderson, N.C., is a southeastern chain of discount retail stores that began in 1915 with the founding of the first store by Paul H. Rose in Henderson, N.C. The collection includes minutes and other papers, 1927-1996; financial records, 1919-1995; photographs, 1930s-1980s; and other items. Minutes relate to the profit sharing trust advisory committee, the auditing committee, the directors and stockholders meetings, the executive committee, and the proxy committee. Other corporate papers include articles and certificates of incorporation; bylaws of the Rose Trucking Co., Inc.; a brief history of the company; and copies of the company newsletter. Tax documents, 1919-1945, include income tax returns, capital stock returns, franchise returns, list of depreciations taken on fixtures, and claims made under the Agricultual Adjustment Act. Balance sheets, 1921-1925, record sales and expenses. There is also a bound volume of monthly financial reports from stores 27 through 53 for 1935. The earliest rent books appear to have been created in the early 1960s, but they contain a financial and real estate history of each store that extends back to its establishment. There are also photographs of various Rose's Stores and employees and a 1979 slide show with audiotaped lecture on loss control auditing. |
