Transcription Notes:
[[note]]: Super-script squiggle next to amts. of "cotton" and "Tob", etc... is a "z" for "ounces". I have seen this on packages before. So that squiggly line means "ounces". I looked it up on the internet and found packaging with that written on it.
Math examples, first line:
5 1/2 (5.50) + 1 1/4 (1.25) + 0.50 = 7.25
"Dr" is not "Doctor", but believe it to be "Delivered". It is always overtop of the prices.
Use capitals where shown.
