Fortunatus Daggett, Jacob Wolf, Jr., and Milton Wolf all bought three yards of hard times. I assume it's some kind of textile.
Lest we think that "hard times" is useful only three yards at a time, in comes Myiel Pierce to buy ten yards of it …
… but on the next page, there's three yards again, going to Philander Sprague.
And just below Philander, a Daggett (Fortunatus?) buys some dog mittens. I'd like to pretend those were mittens for his doggies' paws, but a couple of entries on other pages make it clear that this store sold mittens made from dog hides.
