Scope and Contents
The Morton Salt Company series contain materials dating from 1839 to 2012 that are similar material to the location series above, but due to the large quantity of information on these topics, as well as the fact that many of these companies are or were national or even international, have warranted their own series. Each series is organized by subject, including business, correspondence, ephemera, images, publications, postcards, and films.
Of special note is the Morton Salt Salesmen’s training notes, which is a collection of inter-office correspondence sent out to Morton Salt Salesmen, including tips for improving sales skills, teaching stories, and inspirational quotes.
