An examination of the account books of John Myers, a seaport trading merchant from Norfolk, VA, from 1800 to 1804 shows an evolution over time from the recording of simple financial transactions in double entry format with no distinction between personal and business affairs, to the detailed accounting and reporting for increasingly complex business dealings with his trading partners. This article will first offer a brief description of the Federalist period of US history and the Myers family business in Norfolk, VA, as well as a review of Myers' business career and his accounting training. This is followed by details of the young Myers' actual accounting entries to his books of record and his reporting to his trading partners.

Despite limited funding however, the organization has participated in several restoration projects. Listed as one of their most recent accomplishments, is the 2003 restoration of the beautifully proportioned Georgian building on Market Street in Falmouth, Trelawny which currently houses the government Post Office. The Georgian Society has also conducted several surveys on various Georgian Towns -Spanish Town, Montego Bay and St. Ann and other sites in Jamaica.

In the first half of the twentieth century, the United Fruit Company, based in Boston, Massachusetts, created an impressive network that produced bananas in Columbia for distribution to the US market. The company grew its own fruit but relied as well on local entrepreneurs. United Fruit imposed draconian contracts on the growers, forcing them to trade on terms that were very favorable to the company. These practices set the standards for other exporters operating in the country, even those based in Columbia.

DOMINICA, West Indies -- Rumor has it, once you've mastered driving on Dominica, you can drive anywhere in the world. It's easy to see why. It is, literally, a jungle. Its roads, most of which are no wider than a Chicago alley, crawl over mountains and cling to cliffs tumbling down to the Caribbean Sea. All of their turns are shaped like hairpins, and all of their curves are as blind as the nightfall here, where there are no streetlights or stoplights -- only stars. And, just to make things interesting for the 66 percent of the licensed driving world who are accustomed to keeping right, Dominica's former British Commonwealth status means that, here, one hugs the curves to the left.
